We're dividing 221983 by 45 
We want to figure out the number of times 221983 can be divided by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
45 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
45 goes into 221 4 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 180 from 221 to get 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 45

Moving on to step 4:
45 goes into 419 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 405 from 419 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 148 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 493.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 135 from 148.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 45

Step 6:
45 can be fit into 133 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4932.0
Deduct 90 from 133 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
45 can be fit into 430 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4932.9
If we subtract 405 from 430, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4932.95
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4932.955
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.

The final outcome is 4932.955, with a leftover of 0.0025.
