We're dividing 678974 by 26 
We want to divide 678974 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 26

On to step 2:
67 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 52 from 67 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 26

On to step 3:
When dividing 158 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 156 from 158 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 261.0
Subtracting 26 from 29 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 26

Step 5:
The number 26 fits into 37 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2611.0
If we take 26 away from 37, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 26

On to step 6:
26 can be fit into 114 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26114.0
Deduct 104 from 114 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 7:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26114.3
If we subtract 78 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26114.38
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 26114.384
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.

Advancing to step 10:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26114.3846
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26114.38461
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26114.384615
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
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 13:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26114.3846153
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26114.38461538
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.

The final result is 26114.38461538 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
