Let's divide 838494 by 26
Our goal is to divide 838494 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 83 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 83 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 58 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 52 from 58.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 64 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 322.0
Deduct 52 from 64 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 129 4 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3224.0
Subtract 104 from 129 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 254 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32249.0
If we subtract 234 from 254, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32249.7
Subtract 182 from 200 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32249.76
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32249.769
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.

Moving on to step 10:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32249.7692
Subtract 52 from 60 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 32249.76923
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32249.76923
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 13:
If we divide 200 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32249.7692307
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32249.76923076
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 32249.76923076 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
