We divide 268994 by 45
Our goal is to divide 268994 by 45.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 45

On to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
45 goes into 268 5 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 225 from 268 to get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
45 can be fit into 439 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 405 from 439 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 45

Step 5:
If we divide 349 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 597.0
If we subtract 315 from 349, we get 34.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 344 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
45 goes into 344 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5977.0
If we subtract 315 from 344, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 45 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5977.6
Deduct 270 from 290 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5977.64
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.

Step 9:
45 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5977.644
If we take 180 away from 200, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5977.644 with a balance of 0.002.
