256862 divided by 26 
We want to divide 256862 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
26 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 goes into 256 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 234 from 256.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 228 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 208 from 228.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 can be fit into 206 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 987.0
If we subtract 182 from 206, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 goes into 242 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9879.0
Subtract 234 from 242 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9879.3
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
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 8:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9879.3
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 9:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9879.307
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 10:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9879.3076
Subtract 156 from 180 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9879.30769
Subtracting 234 from 240 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9879.307692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9879.3076923
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9879.3076923
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9879.3076923, with a leftover of 2e-08.
