We look at the division of 118579 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 118579.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 118 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 104 from 118 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 145 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 130 from 145, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 can be fit into 157 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 456.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 156 from 157.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
26 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4560.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4560.7
If we take 182 away from 190, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4560.73
If we subtract 78 from 80, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4560.73
Deduct 0 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4560.7307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4560.73076
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4560.730769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4560.7307692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4560.73076923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4560.73076923 with a remaining 2e-09.
