We divide 142177 by 45
Our goal is to divide 142177 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
45 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
45 can be fit into 142 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 135 from 142.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 45

Moving on to step 4:
The number 45 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 45 from 71 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 267 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 315.0
If we subtract 225 from 267, we get 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 427 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3159.0
Deduct 405 from 427 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3159.4
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 180 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
45 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3159.48
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3159.488
Subtracting 360 from 400 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.

The quotient of the division is 3159.488, and the remainder is 0.004.
