We look at the division of 985279 by 45 
Our goal is to divide 985279 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 45 from 85 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 45

Step 4:
45 can be fit into 402 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtracting 360 from 402 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 45

On to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 427 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2189.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 405 from 427.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
45 goes into 229 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21895.0
Subtract 225 from 229 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 45 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21895.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Step 8:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21895.08
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 45 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21895.088
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Our division results in 21895.088 with a remaining 0.004.
