983257 divided by 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 983257.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 45

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 90 away from 98, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 83 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 45 from 83 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 382 / 45

On to step 4:
45 goes into 382 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we subtract 360 from 382, we get 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 225 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2185.0
Deduct 225 from 225 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 45

On to step 6:
7 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21850.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
45 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21850.1
If we subtract 45 from 70, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21850.15
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21850.155
If we take 225 away from 250, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21850.155 with a remaining 0.0025.
