We look at the division of 689973 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 689973 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 26

Step 2:
The number 26 fits into 68 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 52 from 68 to get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
169 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 156 from 169 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 139 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 265.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 130 from 139.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 97 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2653.0
Subtracting 78 from 97 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 193 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
26 goes into 193 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26537.0
If we take 182 away from 193, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
26 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26537.4
Deduct 104 from 110 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26537.42
Subtract 52 from 60 to 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 9:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26537.423
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 10:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26537.423
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26537.42307
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26537.423076
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26537.4230769
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 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 14:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26537.42307692
If we subtract 52 from 60, 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.

The final result is 26537.42307692 with a remainder of 8e-09.
