26517989 ÷ 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 26517989 can be divided by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 59

On to step 2:
59 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 59

On to step 3:
If we divide 265 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 236 from 265 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 291 / 59

Step 4:
When dividing 291 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 236 from 291 leaves us with 55.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 557 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 can be fit into 557 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 449.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 531 from 557.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 goes into 269 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4494.0
If we subtract 236 from 269, we get 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 59

Advancing to step 7:
338 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44945.0
If we take 295 away from 338, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 59

Going ahead to step 8:
439 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 449457.0
Subtracting 413 from 439 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 260 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 449457.4
Deduct 236 from 260 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.

Step 10:
59 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449457.44
Deduct 236 from 240 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 449457.44, and the remainder is 0.004.
