We're dividing 531848 by 26 
We want to divide 531848 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 53 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 52 away from 53, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 11 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
26 can be fit into 118 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.0
Deduct 104 from 118 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 144 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2045.0
Deduct 130 from 144 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 148 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20455.0
Subtracting 130 from 148 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20455.6
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20455.69
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20455.692
Subtract 52 from 60 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.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20455.6923
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20455.6923
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20455.692307
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 13:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20455.6923076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20455.69230769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 20455.69230769, and the remainder is 6e-09.
