We divide 744466 by 45
We want to figure out the number of times 744466 can be divided by 45.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 45

Advancing to step 2:
74 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 74 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 294 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 270 from 294.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 244 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
244 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtract 225 from 244 to get 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 196 by 45, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1654.0
If we take 180 away from 196, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
45 can be fit into 166 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16543.0
Subtract 135 from 166 to get 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:
When dividing 310 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16543.6
Subtracting 270 from 310 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16543.68
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.

Advancing to step 9:
400 divided by 45 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16543.688
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16543.688 with a balance of 0.004.
