We're dividing 53987478 by 26 
We want to divide 53987478 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 26

On to step 2:
26 goes into 53 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 52 from 53.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 198 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 182 from 198.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 26

On to step 5:
If we divide 167 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2076.0
If we take 156 away from 167, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 114 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
26 can be fit into 114 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20764.0
Subtract 104 from 114 to get 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 26

Step 7:
When dividing 107 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 207644.0
If we take 104 away from 107, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 26

Going ahead to step 8:
38 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2076441.0
Subtracting 26 from 38 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2076441.4
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
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 10:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2076441.46
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2076441.461
Deduct 26 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2076441.4615
Subtract 130 from 140 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2076441.46153
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2076441.461538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
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 15:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2076441.4615384
Subtract 104 from 120 to 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.

Step 16:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2076441.46153846
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2076441.46153846 and a remainder of 4e-09.
