We're dividing 216172 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 216172 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 216 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 208 from 216, we get 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 81 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we subtract 78 from 81, we get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 can be fit into 37 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 831.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 26 from 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
112 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8314.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 104 from 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8314.3
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8314.3
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8314.307
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8314.3076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8314.30769
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8314.307692
Subtract 52 from 60 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8314.3076923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8314.3076923
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8314.3076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
