56587138 ÷ 26 
We want to divide 56587138 by 26.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 56 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 52 from 56, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 26

On to step 3:
26 goes into 45 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 26 from 45 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 198 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we subtract 182 from 198, we get 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 goes into 167 6 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2176.0
Deduct 156 from 167 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 111 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21764.0
Deduct 104 from 111 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 26

On to step 7:
When dividing 73 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217642.0
Deduct 52 from 73 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 26

Step 8:
The number 26 fits into 218 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2176428.0
Subtracting 208 from 218 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2176428.3
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.

Step 10:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2176428.38
Subtract 208 from 220 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2176428.384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2176428.3846
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 13:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2176428.38461
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.

Advancing to step 14:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2176428.384615
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2176428.3846153
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2176428.38461538
If we take 208 away from 220, 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.

The final result is 2176428.38461538 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
