We're dividing 431537 by 26 
We want to divide 431537 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 26

On to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 26 from 43.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 171 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 171 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 156 from 171, we get 15.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
155 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165.0
Deduct 130 from 155 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 26

On to step 5:
When dividing 253 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1659.0
Subtracting 234 from 253 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
197 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16597.0
If we subtract 182 from 197, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16597.5
If we take 130 away from 150, we end up 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.

Step 8:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16597.57
Subtract 182 from 200 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16597.576
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16597.5769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
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 11:
If we divide 60 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16597.57692
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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 16597.576923
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16597.576923
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16597.57692307
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.

After the division, we end up with 16597.57692307 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
