We look at the division of 724238 by 45 
We want to divide 724238 by 45.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 45 from 72, we get 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 274 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 270 from 274.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 42 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 423 / 45

On to step 5:
45 goes into 423 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1609.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 405 from 423.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
45 can be fit into 188 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16094.0
Subtracting 180 from 188 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
45 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16094.1
Subtracting 45 from 80 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
45 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16094.17
If we subtract 315 from 350, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
45 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16094.177
Subtract 315 from 350 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16094.177 with a remaining 0.0035.
