31853584 ÷ 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 31853584.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 31, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 58 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 52 from 58 to get 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 65 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we subtract 52 from 65, we get 13.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 133 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 133 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1225.0
If we take 130 away from 133, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 35 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12251.0
Subtracting 26 from 35 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 26

Moving on to step 7:
26 can be fit into 98 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122513.0
Deduct 78 from 98 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 26

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 204 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1225137.0
Subtracting 182 from 204 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1225137.8
If we subtract 208 from 220, we get 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 10:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1225137.84
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 1225137.846
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1225137.8461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1225137.84615
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 14:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1225137.846153
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left 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 15:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1225137.8461538
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.

On to step 16:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1225137.84615384
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.

The final outcome is 1225137.84615384, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
