We're dividing 26044423 by 174 
Our goal is to divide 26044423 by 174.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 174, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 174

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 174, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 174

Advancing to step 3:
The number 174 fits into 260 1 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 174 away from 260, we end up with 86.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 864 / 174

Step 4:
174 can be fit into 864 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 696 from 864 leaves us with 168.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 168, then repeat: 1684 / 174

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1684 by 174, we get 9 and a remainder of 118.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 1566 from 1684.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 118 and continue with: 1184 / 174

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1184 by 174, we get 6 with a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1496.0
If we subtract 1044 from 1184, we get 140.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 140, then repeat: 1402 / 174

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 174 fits into 1402 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14968.0
If we subtract 1392 from 1402, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 174

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 103 by 174, we get 0 and a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 149680.0
If we take 0 away from 103, we end up with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1030 divided by 174 is 5 with a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149680.5
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 870 from 1030.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1600 by 174, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149680.59
Subtract 1566 from 1600 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
174 can be fit into 340 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149680.591
Subtracting 174 from 340 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1660 divided by 174 is 9 with a remainder of 94.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149680.5919
Deduct 1566 from 1660 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 174 fits into 940 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149680.59195
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 870 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 700 by 174, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149680.591954
Subtract 696 from 700 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.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 40 by 174, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 149680.591954
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 16:
174 goes into 400 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149680.59195402
Deduct 348 from 400 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 149680.59195402 with a balance of 5.2e-08.
