We divide 45343046 by 257
We want to divide 45343046 by 257.

Step 1:
The number 257 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 257

On to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 453 / 257

Step 3:
257 goes into 453 1 times with a remainder of 196.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 257 from 453.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 196, then repeat: 1964 / 257

Going ahead to step 4:
257 can be fit into 1964 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 1799 from 1964, we get 165.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 165 and repeat the process: 1653 / 257

Let's proceed to step 5:
257 goes into 1653 6 times with a remainder of 111.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 1542 from 1653, we get 111.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 111, then repeat: 1110 / 257

Step 6:
257 goes into 1110 4 times with a remainder of 82.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1764.0
Deduct 1028 from 1110 and we're left with 82.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 824 / 257

Advancing to step 7:
The number 257 fits into 824 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17643.0
Deduct 771 from 824 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 536 / 257

Advancing to step 8:
536 divided by 257 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 176432.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 514 from 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
220 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176432.0
The remainder is 220 after subtracting 0 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 257 fits into 2200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176432.08
Subtracting 2056 from 2200 leaves us with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1440 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 155.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176432.085
Deduct 1285 from 1440 and we're left with 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
1550 divided by 257 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176432.0856
Subtract 1542 from 1550 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
257 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 176432.0856
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
257 can be fit into 800 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 176432.085603
Subtract 771 from 800 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 257 fits into 290 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176432.0856031
Subtracting 257 from 290 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
330 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 176432.08560311
Subtracting 257 from 330 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 176432.08560311 with a balance of 7.3e-08.
