We're dividing 40582001 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 40582001 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 26

Step 3:
When dividing 145 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 130 from 145 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 156.0
Subtracting 156 from 158 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 26

On to step 5:
26 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1560.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 220 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15608.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 26

Step 7:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156084.0
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 26

Going ahead to step 8:
161 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.0
Subtract 156 from 161 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
26 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.1
If we subtract 26 from 50, we get 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 10:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1560846.19
If we subtract 234 from 240, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1560846.192
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 12:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.1923
Subtract 78 from 80 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.1923
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 14:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1560846.192307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us with 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 15:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.1923076
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1560846.19230769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1560846.19230769 with a balance of 6e-09.
