We look at the division of 978616 by 45 
We want to divide 978616 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
45 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 45

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 90 from 97.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 45

On to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 45 from 78 to get 33.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 336 / 45

On to step 4:
The number 45 fits into 336 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 315 away from 336, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
211 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2174.0
If we subtract 180 from 211, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 316 / 45

Step 6:
45 can be fit into 316 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21747.0
Deduct 315 from 316 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21747.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 45 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21747.02
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
45 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21747.022
If we subtract 90 from 100, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21747.022 with a remaining 0.001.
