We're dividing 229623 by 26 
We want to divide 229623 by 26.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
229 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 208 away from 229, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 216 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
216 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 208 from 216.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 26

On to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 82 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 883.0
If we take 78 away from 82, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 43 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8831.0
Deduct 26 from 43 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
170 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8831.6
Subtract 156 from 170 to get 14.
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 8:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8831.65
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8831.653
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 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 10:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8831.6538
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8831.65384
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.

Advancing to step 12:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8831.653846
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.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 8831.6538461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8831.65384615
If we take 130 away from 140, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 8831.65384615 with a remainder of 1e-08.
