We're dividing 24638 by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 24638 can be divided by 26.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 246 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 234 from 246, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 123 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 104 from 123 and we're left with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 198 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 947.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 182 from 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
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: 947.6
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 947.61
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.

On 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: 947.615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 947.6153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 947.61538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 947.615384
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 947.6153846
Deduct 156 from 160 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 947.61538461
Subtracting 26 from 40 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.

After the division, we end up with 947.61538461 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
