We divide 217038 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 217038 can be divided by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
26 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 217 8 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 208 from 217 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 26

Step 4:
26 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
Deduct 78 from 90 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 26

On to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 123 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 834.0
If we take 104 away from 123, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
26 goes into 198 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8347.0
Subtracting 182 from 198 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 8347.6
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8347.61
If we subtract 26 from 40, we 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.

On to step 9:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8347.615
If we take 130 away from 140, we end up 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 10:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8347.6153
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8347.61538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8347.615384
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8347.6153846
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 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 14:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8347.61538461
If we subtract 26 from 40, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 8347.61538461, and the remainder is 1.4e-08.
