We're dividing 538447 by 45 
We want to divide 538447 by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 goes into 53 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 45 from 53, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 45 from 88 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 434 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 434 by 45, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 405 away from 434, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 294 / 45

On to step 5:
If we divide 294 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1196.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 270 from 294.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 247 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11965.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 225 from 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11965.4
If we take 180 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11965.48
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Step 9:
The number 45 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11965.488
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11965.488 with a balance of 0.004.
