We're dividing 723987 by 26 
We want to divide 723987 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 52 away from 72, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 203 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 182 from 203 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
26 can be fit into 219 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278.0
Deduct 208 from 219 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 can be fit into 118 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2784.0
Deduct 104 from 118 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 147 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27845.0
If we subtract 130 from 147, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27845.6
Deduct 156 from 170 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27845.65
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
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:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27845.653
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27845.6538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left 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.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27845.65384
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.

On to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27845.653846
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 27845.6538461
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27845.65384615
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 27845.65384615 with a balance of 1e-08.
