We divide 979477 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 979477 can be divided by 45.

Step 1:
9 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 90 from 97.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
45 can be fit into 79 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 45 from 79, we get 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 45

Step 4:
If we divide 344 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 315 from 344 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 297 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2176.0
If we subtract 270 from 297, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 277 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21766.0
If we subtract 270 from 277, we get 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:
When dividing 70 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21766.1
If we subtract 45 from 70, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21766.15
Deduct 225 from 250 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21766.155
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.

After the division, we end up with 21766.155 and a remainder of 0.0025.
