242608 divided by 45 
We want to figure out the number of times 242608 can be divided by 45.

Moving on to 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 45

Moving on to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
242 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 225 from 242, we get 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 45

On to step 4:
45 goes into 176 3 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 135 from 176, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 410 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 410 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we subtract 405 from 410, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 45

On to step 6:
58 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5391.0
If we take 45 away from 58, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5391.2
If we subtract 90 from 130, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5391.28
If we take 360 away from 400, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5391.288
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 5391.288 with a remainder of 0.004.
