872702 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 872702 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
26 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 87 to get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 92 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 78 away from 92, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 147 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 335.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 130 from 147.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
170 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3356.0
If we subtract 156 from 170, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 142 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33565.0
If we take 130 away from 142, we end up 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 7:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33565.4
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33565.46
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33565.461
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33565.4615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left 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 11:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33565.46153
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33565.461538
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.

Advancing to step 13:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 33565.4615384
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 14:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33565.46153846
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.

Our division results in 33565.46153846 with a remaining 4e-09.
