72046940 ÷ 26 
We want to divide 72046940 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 can be fit into 72 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 52 from 72 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 200 / 26

Step 3:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 182 away from 200, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 184 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277.0
Subtracting 182 from 184 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 can be fit into 26 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2771.0
Subtract 26 from 26 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 26

Step 6:
If we divide 9 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27710.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 26

Going ahead to step 7:
94 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277103.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 78 from 94.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 26

On to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2771036.0
If we subtract 156 from 160, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2771036.1
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 10:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2771036.15
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2771036.153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2771036.1538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2771036.15384
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 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:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2771036.153846
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2771036.1538461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
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 16:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2771036.15384615
If we subtract 130 from 140, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2771036.15384615 with a remaining 1e-08.
