Let's divide 251401 by 45
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 251401.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 45

Moving on to step 3:
45 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 225 from 251.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 45

Step 4:
45 goes into 264 5 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 225 away from 264, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 390 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 558.0
If we take 360 away from 390, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 45

On to step 6:
45 goes into 301 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5586.0
Subtracting 270 from 301 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 310 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5586.6
If we subtract 270 from 310, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5586.68
If we subtract 360 from 400, we 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.

Step 9:
400 divided by 45 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5586.688
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 5586.688 with a balance of 0.004.
