988754 ÷ 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 988754.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 90 from 98 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
88 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 45 from 88 to get 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
45 can be fit into 437 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 219.0
Deduct 405 from 437 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 325 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
45 goes into 325 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2197.0
Subtract 315 from 325 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
45 can be fit into 104 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21972.0
Subtract 90 from 104 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 45, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21972.3
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 135 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
45 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21972.31
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21972.311
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21972.311, and the remainder is 0.0005.
