Let's divide 52946 by 45
We want to divide 52946 by 45.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 can be fit into 52 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 45 from 52 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 79 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 45 from 79.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 45

Step 4:
45 can be fit into 344 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 315 from 344 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 296 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.0
Subtract 270 from 296 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
260 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.5
Subtract 225 from 260 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1176.57
If we take 315 away from 350, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 350 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1176.577
If we take 315 away from 350, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1176.577 with a remaining 0.0035.
