Let's divide 524221 by 45
Let's see how many times 45 fits into 524221.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 45

On to step 2:
45 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 52 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 45 from 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
45 can be fit into 292 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 270 from 292.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 222 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1164.0
Subtract 180 from 222 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 421 / 45

Going ahead to step 6:
45 can be fit into 421 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11649.0
If we take 405 away from 421, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
45 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11649.3
If we take 135 away from 160, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11649.35
If we subtract 225 from 250, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11649.355
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 225 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11649.355 and a remainder of 0.0025.
