We divide 552584 by 45
Let's see how many times 45 fits into 552584.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 45

On to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 45 from 55, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 45

Step 3:
The number 45 fits into 102 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 90 from 102.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 125 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 90 away from 125, we end up with 35.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 358 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 goes into 358 7 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1227.0
If we take 315 away from 358, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 434 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 434 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12279.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 405 from 434.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 45 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12279.6
Deduct 270 from 290 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
45 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12279.64
If we subtract 180 from 200, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
45 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12279.644
If we subtract 180 from 200, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12279.644 with a remaining 0.002.
