We're dividing 45861486 by 524 
We're looking to find how many times 524 goes into 45861486.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 524 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 524

Advancing to step 2:
524 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 0 from 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 524

Going ahead to step 3:
524 goes into 458 0 times with a remainder of 458.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 458, we get 458.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 458 and continue with: 4586 / 524

On to step 4:
524 can be fit into 4586 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 394.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 4192 from 4586 to get 394.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 394 and repeat the process: 3941 / 524

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 524 fits into 3941 7 times, leaving a remainder of 273.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 273 after subtracting 3668 from 3941.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 273, then repeat: 2734 / 524

Moving on to step 6:
2734 divided by 524 is 5 with a remainder of 114.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 875.0
If we subtract 2620 from 2734, we get 114.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 114 and continue with: 1148 / 524

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1148 by 524, we get 2 with a remainder of 100.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8752.0
Subtract 1048 from 1148 to get 100.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 100, then carry on: 1006 / 524

Step 8:
If we divide 1006 by 524, we get 1 and a remainder of 482.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87521.0
If we take 524 away from 1006, we end up with 482.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 4820 by 524, we get 9 and a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87521.9
If we take 4716 away from 4820, we end up with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 524 fits into 1040 1 times, leaving a remainder of 516.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87521.91
If we subtract 524 from 1040, we get 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 5160 by 524, we get 9 and a remainder of 444.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87521.919
The remainder is 444 after subtracting 4716 from 5160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
524 goes into 4440 8 times with a remainder of 248.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87521.9198
If we subtract 4192 from 4440, we get 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
524 can be fit into 2480 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 87521.91984
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 2096 from 2480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 524 fits into 3840 7 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87521.919847
Deduct 3668 from 3840 and we're left with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Step 15:
524 goes into 1720 3 times with a remainder of 148.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87521.9198473
Subtracting 1572 from 1720 leaves us with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
524 can be fit into 1480 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 432.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87521.91984732
If we subtract 1048 from 1480, we get 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 87521.91984732 with a balance of 4.32e-07.
