We divide 872434 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 872434 can be divided by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 87 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 87 to get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 92 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 78 from 92, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
26 can be fit into 144 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 335.0
Subtract 130 from 144 to get 14.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 goes into 143 5 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3355.0
If we take 130 away from 143, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
134 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33555.0
Subtract 130 from 134 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33555.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33555.15
If we subtract 130 from 140, we get 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 9:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33555.153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33555.1538
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 33555.15384
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.

On to step 12:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33555.153846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33555.1538461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33555.15384615
Subtracting 130 from 140 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.

Our division results in 33555.15384615 with a remaining 1e-08.
