742204 divided by 26 
We want to divide 742204 by 26.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 74 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 52 from 74 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 26

Step 3:
26 goes into 222 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 208 from 222.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 142 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 285.0
If we take 130 away from 142, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2854.0
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 164 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 28546.0
If we subtract 156 from 164, we 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.

On to step 7:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28546.3
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 28546.3
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28546.307
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.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28546.3076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28546.30769
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28546.307692
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:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28546.3076923
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28546.3076923
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 28546.3076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
