217201 divided by 45 
We want to divide 217201 by 45.

Step 1:
45 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 217 / 45

On to step 3:
If we divide 217 by 45, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 180 from 217 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 372 / 45

On to step 4:
When dividing 372 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 360 from 372 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
Deduct 90 from 120 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
45 can be fit into 301 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4826.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 270 from 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
310 divided by 45 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4826.6
Deduct 270 from 310 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4826.68
Subtract 360 from 400 to 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.

On to step 9:
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: 4826.688
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 4826.688 and a remainder of 0.004.
