74884 divided by 45 
Our goal is to divide 74884 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 45 away from 74, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 298 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 270 away from 298, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 45

Moving on to step 4:
45 goes into 288 6 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Deduct 270 from 288 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 45

On to step 5:
184 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1664.0
Deduct 180 from 184 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
45 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1664.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
400 divided by 45 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1664.08
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1664.088
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1664.088 with a balance of 0.004.
