We're dividing 217317 by 26 
We want to divide 217317 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 26

On to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 208 from 217 to get 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
26 can be fit into 93 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtract 78 from 93 to get 15.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 151 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 goes into 151 5 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 835.0
Deduct 130 from 151 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 217 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8358.0
Subtract 208 from 217 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8358.3
Deduct 78 from 90 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.

Step 8:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8358.34
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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 9:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8358.346
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8358.3461
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8358.34615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8358.346153
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.

Step 13:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8358.3461538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8358.34615384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8358.34615384 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
