Let's divide 242823 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 242823 can be divided by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 45

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 45

Step 3:
45 can be fit into 242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 225 from 242 to get 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 178 by 45, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 135 from 178 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 432 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 405 from 432.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 45

Step 6:
If we divide 273 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5396.0
Deduct 270 from 273 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5396.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
45 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5396.06
If we subtract 270 from 300, 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.

On to step 9:
The number 45 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5396.066
If we take 270 away from 300, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5396.066 with a remaining 0.003.
