128173 divided by 26 
Our goal is to divide 128173 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
12 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
128 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 104 from 128, we get 24.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 241 / 26

Step 4:
26 can be fit into 241 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 234 from 241, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 26

On to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 492.0
If we subtract 52 from 77, we get 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 26

Step 6:
26 goes into 253 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4929.0
If we subtract 234 from 253, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4929.7
Subtracting 182 from 190 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 8:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4929.73
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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.

Step 9:
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: 4929.73
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.

Advancing to step 10:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4929.7307
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4929.73076
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4929.730769
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4929.7307692
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4929.73076923
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4929.73076923 with a balance of 2e-09.
