We're dividing 278071 by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 278071 can be divided by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 can be fit into 27 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 26 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 26

On to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 180 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 26

On to step 5:
247 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1069.0
Deduct 234 from 247 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
131 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10695.0
If we take 130 away from 131, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10695.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10695.03
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10695.038
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.

On to step 10:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10695.0384
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10695.03846
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10695.038461
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 10695.0384615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10695.03846153
If we take 78 away from 100, 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.

After the division, we end up with 10695.03846153 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
