We divide 866972 by 45
Let's see how many times 45 fits into 866972.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 45

Step 2:
86 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 45 from 86, we get 41.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 416 / 45

Step 3:
45 goes into 416 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 405 from 416.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 45

Step 4:
When dividing 119 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 192.0
If we take 90 away from 119, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 can be fit into 297 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1926.0
Subtracting 270 from 297 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 272 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19266.0
If we subtract 270 from 272, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19266.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19266.04
Subtracting 180 from 200 leaves us 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 9:
When dividing 200 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19266.044
Subtract 180 from 200 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19266.044 with a balance of 0.002.
