We're dividing 986096 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 986096 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 26

Step 2:
When dividing 98 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 78 from 98 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
206 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 182 from 206 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 379.0
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 26

On to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 69 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3792.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 52 from 69.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 176 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37926.0
If we take 156 away from 176, 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.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37926.7
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.

Moving on to step 8:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37926.76
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37926.769
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.

Moving on to step 10:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37926.7692
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.

Advancing to step 11:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37926.76923
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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 12:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37926.76923
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37926.7692307
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37926.76923076
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 37926.76923076 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
