We look at the division of 734871 by 45 
We want to figure out the number of times 734871 can be divided by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
45 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 45

Advancing to step 2:
45 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 45 from 73.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
45 can be fit into 284 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 270 from 284, we get 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 148 by 45, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtract 135 from 148 to get 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 45

On to step 5:
If we divide 137 by 45, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1633.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 135 from 137.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16330.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
45 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16330.4
If we subtract 180 from 210, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
45 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16330.46
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 270 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
45 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16330.466
Subtract 270 from 300 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16330.466 with a balance of 0.003.
