We're dividing 716996 by 45 
We want to divide 716996 by 45.

Moving on to step 1:
45 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 45

Step 2:
45 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 45 from 71 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
45 goes into 266 5 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 225 away from 266, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 419 by 45, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtracting 405 from 419 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 149 by 45, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1593.0
If we take 135 away from 149, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 146 by 45, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15933.0
Subtract 135 from 146 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15933.2
Deduct 90 from 110 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15933.24
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15933.244
Subtracting 180 from 200 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15933.244 with a balance of 0.002.
