Let's divide 661897 by 45
Let's see how many times 45 fits into 661897.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 66 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 45 from 66.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 45

On to step 3:
45 can be fit into 211 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 180 from 211.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 45

On to step 4:
45 can be fit into 318 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 147.0
Subtract 315 from 318 to get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1470.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 45

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 397 by 45, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14708.0
If we take 360 away from 397, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
45 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14708.8
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 360 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
45 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14708.82
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
100 divided by 45 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14708.822
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14708.822 with a remaining 0.001.
