Let's divide 298538 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 298538.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 can be fit into 29 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 29 to get 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 38 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 26 from 38 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 125 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 104 from 125 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 213 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 213 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1148.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 208 from 213.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 58 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11482.0
Subtracting 52 from 58 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11482.2
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 8:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11482.23
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11482.23
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11482.2307
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.

Step 11:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11482.23076
If we subtract 156 from 180, 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11482.230769
Subtract 234 from 240 to 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.

Step 13:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11482.2307692
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 14:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11482.23076923
If we subtract 78 from 80, we 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.

Our division results in 11482.23076923 with a remaining 2e-09.
