We divide 144269 by 45
We want to divide 144269 by 45.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 45

On to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 45

On to step 3:
144 divided by 45 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 135 from 144 to get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
45 can be fit into 92 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 90 from 92 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 45

Step 5:
If we divide 26 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 320.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 45

On to step 6:
269 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 44.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3205.0
If we subtract 225 from 269, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
45 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3205.9
If we subtract 405 from 440, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
45 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3205.97
Subtracting 315 from 350 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
45 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3205.977
Subtracting 315 from 350 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3205.977 with a balance of 0.0035.
