Let's divide 601708 by 26
Our goal is to divide 601708 by 26.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 52 from 60, we get 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 26

Step 3:
81 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 78 from 81.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
37 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtract 26 from 37 to get 11.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 110 / 26

On to step 5:
When dividing 110 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2314.0
Deduct 104 from 110 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 68 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23142.0
Subtracting 52 from 68 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23142.6
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 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: 23142.61
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.

Step 9:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23142.615
Subtract 130 from 140 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23142.6153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23142.61538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23142.615384
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23142.6153846
Deduct 156 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23142.61538461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23142.61538461 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
