We divide 311996 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 311996.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 31 to get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
26 can be fit into 51 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 26 from 51 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
259 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we subtract 234 from 259, we get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 can be fit into 259 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1199.0
Deduct 234 from 259 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 256 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11999.0
If we subtract 234 from 256, 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.

Step 7:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11999.8
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11999.84
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11999.846
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11999.8461
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.

On to step 11:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11999.84615
If we subtract 130 from 140, we 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 12:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11999.846153
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11999.8461538
Subtracting 208 from 220 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.

Moving on to step 14:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11999.84615384
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11999.84615384 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
