We look at the division of 978438 by 26 
We want to divide 978438 by 26.

Step 1:
26 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 97 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 198 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 182 from 198, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 26

Step 4:
26 goes into 164 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 376.0
Subtracting 156 from 164 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 83 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3763.0
If we take 78 away from 83, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 58 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37632.0
Subtract 52 from 58 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 37632.2
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 52 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37632.23
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37632.23
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37632.2307
If we take 182 away from 200, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37632.23076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37632.230769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37632.2307692
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 52 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37632.23076923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 37632.23076923 and a remainder of 2e-09.
