Let's divide 128873 by 26
We want to divide 128873 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 26

On to step 2:
12 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
128 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 104 away from 128, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 248 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 234 from 248.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 147 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 495.0
Subtracting 130 from 147 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 173 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4956.0
Subtracting 156 from 173 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
170 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4956.6
Subtracting 156 from 170 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4956.65
Subtract 130 from 140 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4956.653
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4956.6538
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4956.65384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4956.653846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4956.6538461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4956.65384615
If we subtract 130 from 140, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4956.65384615 with a remaining 1e-08.
