We look at the division of 231605 by 26 
We want to divide 231605 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
26 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 231 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 208 from 231 to get 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
26 goes into 236 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 234 from 236.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 890.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 26

On to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 205 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8907.0
Subtracting 182 from 205 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
230 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8907.8
If we take 208 away from 230, we end up 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.

Step 8:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8907.88
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.

Our division results in 8907.88 with a remaining 0.012.
