Let's divide 490174 by 45
We want to divide 490174 by 45.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 45

Step 2:
45 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 45 from 49 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 401 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 45 fits into 401 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtract 360 from 401 to get 41.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 417 / 45

On to step 5:
When dividing 417 by 45, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1089.0
If we take 405 away from 417, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 45

On to step 6:
124 divided by 45 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10892.0
If we take 90 away from 124, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
45 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10892.7
Subtract 315 from 340 to 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 8:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10892.75
If we take 225 away from 250, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 45 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10892.755
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.

Our division results in 10892.755 with a remaining 0.0025.
