We look at the division of 26497259 by 661 
We're looking to find how many times 661 goes into 26497259.

Advancing to step 1:
661 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 661

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 661 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 661

Moving on to step 3:
661 goes into 264 0 times with a remainder of 264.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 264 leaves us with 264.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 264 and continue with: 2649 / 661

Advancing to step 4:
2649 divided by 661 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 2644 away from 2649, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 661

Step 5:
57 divided by 661 is 0 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 57, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 572 / 661

Going ahead to step 6:
661 can be fit into 572 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 572.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.0
Subtract 0 from 572 to get 572.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 572 and continue: 5725 / 661

Going ahead to step 7:
661 can be fit into 5725 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 437.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4008.0
Subtracting 5288 from 5725 leaves us with 437.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 437, then repeat: 4379 / 661

Going ahead to step 8:
661 goes into 4379 6 times with a remainder of 413.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40086.0
Subtracting 3966 from 4379 leaves us with 413.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 661 fits into 4130 6 times, leaving a remainder of 164.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40086.6
The remainder is 164 after subtracting 3966 from 4130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1640 divided by 661 is 2 with a remainder of 318.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40086.62
Subtracting 1322 from 1640 leaves us with 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 661 fits into 3180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 536.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40086.624
If we take 2644 away from 3180, we end up with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
661 goes into 5360 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40086.6248
Subtract 5288 from 5360 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
661 can be fit into 720 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40086.62481
If we subtract 661 from 720, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 590 by 661, we get 0 and a remainder of 590.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40086.62481
If we take 0 away from 590, we end up with 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5900, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 5900 by 661, we get 8 and a remainder of 612.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40086.6248108
Deduct 5288 from 5900 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
661 goes into 6120 9 times with a remainder of 171.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40086.62481089
Subtract 5949 from 6120 to get 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Our division results in 40086.62481089 with a remaining 1.71e-07.
