We look at the division of 971458 by 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 971458.

Moving on to step 1:
26 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
97 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 191 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 191 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 182 from 191 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 94 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 373.0
Subtracting 78 from 94 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 165 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3736.0
If we take 156 away from 165, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
98 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37363.0
If we take 78 away from 98, 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.

Step 7:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37363.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37363.76
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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 9:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37363.769
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 37363.7692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up 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.

Let's proceed 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: 37363.76923
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.

Moving on to step 12:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37363.76923
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37363.7692307
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:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37363.76923076
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.

The final outcome is 37363.76923076, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
