We divide 442731 by 26
Our goal is to divide 442731 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
26 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 44 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 26 away from 44, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 26

On to step 3:
If we divide 182 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 182 from 182, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 26

On to step 5:
When dividing 73 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1702.0
Subtract 52 from 73 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 211 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17028.0
Deduct 208 from 211 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17028.1
Deduct 26 from 30 and we're left with 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 8:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17028.11
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17028.11, with a leftover of 0.014.
