We divide 240859 by 26
We want to divide 240859 by 26.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we subtract 52 from 68, we get 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 26

Step 5:
26 goes into 165 6 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 926.0
If we subtract 156 from 165, we get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 26

Step 6:
When dividing 99 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9263.0
If we subtract 78 from 99, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 can be fit into 210 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9263.8
Subtracting 208 from 210 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9263.8
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9263.807
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.

Step 10:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9263.8076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9263.80769
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9263.807692
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9263.8076923
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 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 14:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9263.8076923
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.

After the division, we end up with 9263.8076923 and a remainder of 2e-08.
