217043 divided by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 217043 can be divided by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 26

On to step 2:
26 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 26

Step 3:
26 goes into 217 8 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 208 from 217 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 78 away from 90, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 124 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 834.0
If we subtract 104 from 124, we get 20.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 203 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8347.0
Subtracting 182 from 203 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8347.8
Subtract 208 from 210 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8347.8
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8347.807
Subtract 182 from 200 to get 18.
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.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8347.8076
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8347.80769
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:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8347.807692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8347.8076923
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.

On to step 14:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8347.8076923
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.

The final outcome is 8347.8076923, with a leftover of 2e-08.
