Let's divide 234796 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 234796 can be divided by 45.

Step 1:
The number 45 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 225 from 234, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 45

Step 4:
When dividing 97 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 90 from 97 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 79 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 521.0
Deduct 45 from 79 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
346 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5217.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 315 from 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5217.6
Subtracting 270 from 310 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5217.68
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5217.688
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5217.688 and a remainder of 0.004.
