Let's divide 26408 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 26408.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 264 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 248 from 264 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 155 from 160 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 58 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 851.0
Subtracting 31 from 58 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 270 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 851.8
If we take 248 away from 270, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 851.87
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 851.87
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 goes into 300 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 851.8709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 851.87096
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 186 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 851.870967
Deduct 217 from 240 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 851.8709677
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 851.8709677 with a balance of 1.3e-07.
