Let's divide 985778 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 985778.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 78 from 98.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 can be fit into 205 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 182 from 205 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 237 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
Subtracting 234 from 237 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
37 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3791.0
Subtracting 26 from 37 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
118 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 37914.0
Subtract 104 from 118 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37914.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37914.53
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.

Step 9:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37914.538
If we subtract 208 from 220, we get 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 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 37914.5384
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37914.53846
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37914.538461
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.

Advancing to step 13:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 37914.5384615
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37914.53846153
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 37914.53846153 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
