Let's divide 538057 by 45
We want to divide 538057 by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 45

On to step 2:
53 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 45 from 53 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 45

Step 3:
45 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 45 from 88 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 430 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
45 can be fit into 430 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 405 away from 430, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 goes into 255 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1195.0
If we take 225 away from 255, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 307 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11956.0
Subtracting 270 from 307 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
45 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11956.8
If we subtract 360 from 370, we get 10.
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:
When dividing 100 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11956.82
Deduct 90 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11956.822
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 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 11956.822 with a remaining 0.001.
