We divide 45359496 by 879
We're looking to find how many times 879 goes into 45359496.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 879

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 453 / 879

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 879 fits into 453 0 times, leaving a remainder of 453.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 453 to get 453.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 453 and continue with: 4535 / 879

On to step 4:
If we divide 4535 by 879, we get 5 and a remainder of 140.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4395 from 4535 and we're left with 140.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 140, then repeat: 1409 / 879

Step 5:
879 can be fit into 1409 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 530.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 879 from 1409, we get 530.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 530 and continue: 5304 / 879

Moving on to step 6:
879 goes into 5304 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 516.0
Subtract 5274 from 5304 to get 30.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 879

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 309 by 879, we get 0 and a remainder of 309.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5160.0
If we take 0 away from 309, we end up with 309.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 309 and continue: 3096 / 879

Going ahead to step 8:
879 can be fit into 3096 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 459.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51603.0
If we take 2637 away from 3096, we end up with 459.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
4590 divided by 879 is 5 with a remainder of 195.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51603.5
If we subtract 4395 from 4590, we get 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1950 by 879, we get 2 with a remainder of 192.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51603.52
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 1758 from 1950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1920 by 879, we get 2 with a remainder of 162.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51603.522
The remainder is 162 after subtracting 1758 from 1920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 51603.522 with a balance of 0.0162.
