We divide 265891 by 45
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 265891.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 265 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 225 from 265, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
408 divided by 45 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 405 from 408 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 39 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 590.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 391 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
45 can be fit into 391 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5908.0
Subtracting 360 from 391 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 45 fits into 310 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5908.6
Deduct 270 from 310 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5908.68
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5908.688
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5908.688 with a balance of 0.004.
