Let's divide 977842 by 26
Our goal is to divide 977842 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 26

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 197 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 182 from 197 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
26 can be fit into 158 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 376.0
If we subtract 156 from 158, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3760.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
242 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37609.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 234 from 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37609.3
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 37609.3
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37609.307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 37609.3076
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 37609.30769
Subtract 234 from 240 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.

Step 12:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37609.307692
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left with 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 13:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37609.3076923
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37609.3076923
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

The final outcome is 37609.3076923, with a leftover of 2e-08.
