We look at the division of 231377 by 45 
Our goal is to divide 231377 by 45.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 45

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 231 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 225 from 231 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
63 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 45 from 63 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 45

On to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 187 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 514.0
Subtract 180 from 187 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 45

Going ahead to step 6:
77 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5141.0
Subtract 45 from 77 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
45 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5141.7
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 315 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5141.71
If we take 45 away from 50, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
50 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5141.711
Subtract 45 from 50 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5141.711 with a balance of 0.0005.
