Let's divide 52473 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 52473 can be divided by 26.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 52 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 52 from 52 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 26

On to step 4:
If we divide 47 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 201.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 26 from 47.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 213 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2018.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 208 from 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 50 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2018.1
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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2018.19
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2018.192
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2018.1923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2018.1923
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.

On to step 11:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2018.192307
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2018.1923076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
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: 2018.19230769
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.

After the division, we end up with 2018.19230769 and a remainder of 6e-09.
