72142 divided by 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 72142.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 72 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 52 from 72, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 201 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 182 from 201 to get 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 26

On to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 194 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277.0
Deduct 182 from 194 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 122 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 122 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2774.0
If we subtract 104 from 122, we 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.

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2774.6
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2774.69
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2774.692
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2774.6923
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.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2774.6923
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2774.692307
If we subtract 182 from 200, we 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.

On to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2774.6923076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2774.69230769
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.

The quotient of the division is 2774.69230769, and the remainder is 6e-09.
