45908261 divided by 288 
We want to divide 45908261 by 288.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 288, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 288

Advancing to step 2:
The number 288 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 459 / 288

Step 3:
When dividing 459 by 288, we get 1 with a remainder of 171.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 288 from 459 to get 171.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 171 and continue: 1710 / 288

On to step 4:
288 can be fit into 1710 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 270 after subtracting 1440 from 1710.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 270 and continue with: 2708 / 288

Going ahead to step 5:
288 can be fit into 2708 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtracting 2592 from 2708 leaves us with 116.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 116 and continue: 1162 / 288

Step 6:
288 can be fit into 1162 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1594.0
If we subtract 1152 from 1162, we get 10.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 288

On to step 7:
288 can be fit into 106 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 106.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15940.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 0 from 106.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 106, then carry on: 1061 / 288

Step 8:
1061 divided by 288 is 3 with a remainder of 197.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159403.0
Subtracting 864 from 1061 leaves us with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 1970 by 288, we get 6 with a remainder of 242.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 159403.6
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 1728 from 1970.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
288 can be fit into 2420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159403.68
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 2304 from 2420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1160 by 288, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 159403.684
Subtracting 1152 from 1160 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 288, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 159403.684
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
288 goes into 800 2 times with a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 159403.68402
If we take 576 away from 800, we end up with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
288 goes into 2240 7 times with a remainder of 224.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159403.684027
If we take 2016 away from 2240, we end up with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 2240 by 288, we get 7 with a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159403.6840277
Deduct 2016 from 2240 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 159403.6840277 with a balance of 2.24e-06.
