We look at the division of 742044 by 26 
We want to divide 742044 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 26

Step 2:
26 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 52 from 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 222 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 208 away from 222, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 285.0
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 26

On to step 5:
26 can be fit into 104 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2854.0
If we subtract 104 from 104, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28540.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28540.1
Subtract 26 from 40 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.

On to step 8:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28540.15
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28540.153
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28540.1538
If we take 208 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 28540.15384
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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 12:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28540.153846
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28540.1538461
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28540.15384615
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.

The quotient of the division is 28540.15384615, and the remainder is 1e-08.
