We're dividing 5172 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 5172 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 26

On to step 2:
51 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 26 away from 51, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 234 away from 257, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 26

Step 4:
232 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 198.0
If we take 208 away from 232, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 198.9
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 6:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 198.92
If we subtract 52 from 60, we get 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 7:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 198.923
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 198.923
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 198.92307
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 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 198.923076
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up 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 11:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 198.9230769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 198.92307692
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 198.92307692 with a balance of 8e-09.
