685717 divided by 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 685717.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 68 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 45

On to step 3:
When dividing 235 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 225 from 235 to get 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
107 divided by 45 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtracting 90 from 107 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 171 by 45, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1523.0
Subtract 135 from 171 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
45 goes into 367 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15238.0
If we take 360 away from 367, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 70 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15238.1
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 45 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15238.15
Subtracting 225 from 250 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15238.155
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15238.155 with a balance of 0.0025.
