Let's divide 11879157 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 11879157 can be divided by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 26

Step 3:
26 goes into 118 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 104 from 118 to get 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 147 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 130 from 147 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 179 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 456.0
Deduct 156 from 179 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 26

Step 6:
26 can be fit into 231 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4568.0
If we subtract 208 from 231, we get 23.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 26

Going ahead to step 7:
26 can be fit into 235 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45689.0
Subtracting 234 from 235 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 26

Going ahead to step 8:
26 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 456890.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
26 can be fit into 170 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 456890.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 156 from 170.
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 10:
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: 456890.65
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 11:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 456890.653
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 456890.6538
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 456890.65384
Subtracting 104 from 120 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.

Step 14:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 456890.653846
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 15:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 456890.6538461
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 16:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 456890.65384615
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.

Our division results in 456890.65384615 with a remaining 1e-08.
