We're dividing 26543142 by 431 
We want to divide 26543142 by 431.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 431, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 431

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 431, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 431

Moving on to step 3:
265 divided by 431 is 0 with a remainder of 265.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 265 to get 265.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 265, then repeat: 2654 / 431

On to step 4:
If we divide 2654 by 431, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 2586 away from 2654, we end up with 68.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 683 / 431

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 431 fits into 683 1 times, leaving a remainder of 252.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 431 from 683 and we're left with 252.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 252 and continue with: 2521 / 431

Advancing to step 6:
431 goes into 2521 5 times with a remainder of 366.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 615.0
If we subtract 2155 from 2521, we get 366.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 366, then repeat: 3664 / 431

Going ahead to step 7:
431 can be fit into 3664 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6158.0
Deduct 3448 from 3664 and we're left with 216.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 216 and continue: 2162 / 431

Moving on to step 8:
431 can be fit into 2162 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61585.0
Subtracting 2155 from 2162 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 70 by 431, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61585.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
431 goes into 700 1 times with a remainder of 269.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61585.01
Subtract 431 from 700 to get 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
2690 divided by 431 is 6 with a remainder of 104.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61585.016
If we subtract 2586 from 2690, we get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
431 can be fit into 1040 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61585.0162
Subtracting 862 from 1040 leaves us with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1780 divided by 431 is 4 with a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61585.01624
Subtract 1724 from 1780 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
560 divided by 431 is 1 with a remainder of 129.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61585.016241
If we subtract 431 from 560, we get 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 1290 by 431, we get 2 with a remainder of 428.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61585.0162412
If we take 862 away from 1290, we end up with 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 4280 by 431, we get 9 and a remainder of 401.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61585.01624129
Subtract 3879 from 4280 to get 401.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4010, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 61585.01624129 and a remainder of 4.01e-07.
