We look at the division of 26720459 by 988 
We want to figure out the number of times 26720459 can be divided by 988.

Step 1:
988 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 988

On to step 2:
The number 988 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
The number 988 fits into 267 0 times, leaving a remainder of 267.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 267 leaves us with 267.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 267 and continue: 2672 / 988

Moving on to step 4:
The number 988 fits into 2672 2 times, leaving a remainder of 696.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1976 from 2672, we get 696.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 696 and continue: 6960 / 988

Let's proceed to step 5:
988 can be fit into 6960 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 6916 away from 6960, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 988

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 444 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 444.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270.0
Deduct 0 from 444 and we're left with 444.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 444 and continue: 4445 / 988

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 4445 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 493.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2704.0
Subtract 3952 from 4445 to get 493.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 493, then carry on: 4939 / 988

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 4939 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 987.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27044.0
If we subtract 3952 from 4939, we get 987.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
9870 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 978.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27044.9
If we take 8892 away from 9870, we end up with 978.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
9780 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 888.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27044.99
Subtract 8892 from 9780 to get 888.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8880, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 27044.99, with a leftover of 0.888.
