We divide 972237 by 45
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 972237.

Step 1:
9 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 90 from 97.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 45

Step 3:
The number 45 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 45 from 72 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 45

Step 4:
If we divide 272 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 216.0
If we take 270 away from 272, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
45 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2160.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 45

Going ahead to step 6:
237 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21605.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 225 from 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21605.2
If we subtract 90 from 120, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
45 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21605.26
Subtracting 270 from 300 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 9:
45 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21605.266
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.

The quotient of the division is 21605.266, and the remainder is 0.003.
