Let's divide 48864 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 48864.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 48, we get 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 228 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 208 from 228 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 206 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtracting 182 from 206 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 goes into 244 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1879.0
Subtract 234 from 244 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1879.3
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1879.38
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1879.384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1879.3846
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1879.38461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1879.384615
If we subtract 130 from 140, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1879.3846153
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1879.38461538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1879.38461538 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
