491531 divided by 45 
Our goal is to divide 491531 by 45.

On to step 1:
45 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 45

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 45 from 49 to get 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 41 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 415 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 415 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109.0
If we subtract 405 from 415, we get 10.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 45

Step 5:
45 goes into 103 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1092.0
Deduct 90 from 103 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 45

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 131 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10922.0
If we subtract 90 from 131, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10922.9
Subtract 405 from 410 to 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 50 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10922.91
Subtracting 45 from 50 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 50 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10922.911
If we take 45 away from 50, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10922.911 with a balance of 0.0005.
