26258279 ÷ 973 
We're looking to find how many times 973 goes into 26258279.

Let's proceed to step 1:
973 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 973

On to step 2:
973 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 973

Moving on to step 3:
The number 973 fits into 262 0 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 262, we end up with 262.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 262 and continue with: 2625 / 973

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2625 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 679.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1946 from 2625, we get 679.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 679, then repeat: 6798 / 973

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 6798 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 960.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 5838 from 6798 and we're left with 960.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 960 and continue with: 9602 / 973

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 9602 by 973, we get 9 and a remainder of 845.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtracting 8757 from 9602 leaves us with 845.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 845 and continue with: 8457 / 973

Going ahead to step 7:
973 goes into 8457 8 times with a remainder of 673.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2698.0
Deduct 7784 from 8457 and we're left with 673.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 673, then repeat: 6739 / 973

On to step 8:
If we divide 6739 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 901.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26986.0
If we take 5838 away from 6739, we end up with 901.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9010, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 9010 by 973, we get 9 with a remainder of 253.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26986.9
Deduct 8757 from 9010 and we're left with 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
973 goes into 2530 2 times with a remainder of 584.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26986.92
Subtract 1946 from 2530 to get 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 973 fits into 5840 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26986.926
Subtract 5838 from 5840 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26986.926
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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:
When dividing 200 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26986.926
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The final result is 26986.926 with a remainder of 0.0002.
