Let's divide 26599 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 26599.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
26 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 265 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 265, we get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 439 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 370 away from 439, we end up with 69.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 699 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 699 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.0
Deduct 666 from 699 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
330 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.4
If we take 296 away from 330, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.44
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 359.44 with a remaining 0.044.
