Let's divide 248579 by 45
Our goal is to divide 248579 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 45

On to step 2:
45 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 248 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 225 from 248.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 45

Step 4:
45 goes into 235 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 225 from 235 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 can be fit into 107 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we subtract 90 from 107, we get 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 179 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5523.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 135 from 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 440 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5523.9
Subtracting 405 from 440 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.

Advancing to step 8:
45 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5523.97
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.

Moving on to step 9:
350 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5523.977
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.

The final result is 5523.977 with a remainder of 0.0035.
