Let's divide 6696 by 45
We want to divide 6696 by 45.

On to step 1:
45 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 45

On to step 2:
If we divide 66 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 45 from 66, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 180 away from 219, we end up with 39.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 396 / 45

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 396 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 360 from 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 360 by 45, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.8
If we take 360 away from 360, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 45 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 148.8
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 148.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
