We're dividing 51889 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 51889 by 26.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 51 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 51 to get 25.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 258 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 258 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 234 from 258 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 248 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 199.0
Subtract 234 from 248 to get 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 goes into 149 5 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1995.0
Subtract 130 from 149 to 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
26 goes into 190 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1995.7
Subtract 182 from 190 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1995.73
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1995.73
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1995.7307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1995.73076
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 11:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1995.730769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 1995.7307692
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 52 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1995.73076923
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.

The final result is 1995.73076923 with a remainder of 2e-09.
