We divide 266938 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 266938 can be divided by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 45

Step 3:
If we divide 266 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 41.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 225 away from 266, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 45

On to step 4:
419 divided by 45 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 405 from 419 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 45

Step 5:
143 divided by 45 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 135 from 143.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 45

On to step 6:
If we divide 88 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5931.0
Deduct 45 from 88 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 45, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5931.9
Subtract 405 from 430 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5931.95
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5931.955
Subtracting 225 from 250 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5931.955, and the remainder is 0.0025.
