Let's divide 722917 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 722917 can be divided by 45.

Let's proceed to step 1:
45 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 45

Step 2:
72 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 45 from 72 to get 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 272 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 270 away from 272, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
45 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 291 / 45

Step 5:
45 goes into 291 6 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1606.0
If we subtract 270 from 291, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 217 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16064.0
If we take 180 away from 217, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
45 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16064.8
Subtracting 360 from 370 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16064.82
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16064.822
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 16064.822 with a remainder of 0.001.
