We're dividing 278475 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 278475 by 26.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 27, we get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 26

On to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
184 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Deduct 182 from 184 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
27 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1071.0
If we subtract 26 from 27, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10710.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 150 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10710.5
If we subtract 130 from 150, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10710.57
Subtract 182 from 200 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10710.576
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10710.5769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10710.57692
Subtract 52 from 60 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10710.576923
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10710.576923
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10710.57692307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10710.57692307 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
