Let's divide 51023 by 45
We want to divide 51023 by 45.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 45

Step 2:
51 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 51 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
45 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 45 away from 60, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 45 fits into 152 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
Deduct 135 from 152 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
45 goes into 173 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1133.0
Subtract 135 from 173 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 380 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1133.8
Subtracting 360 from 380 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
200 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1133.84
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 180 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
45 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1133.844
If we take 180 away from 200, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1133.844 with a balance of 0.002.
