We're dividing 562431 by 26 
We want to divide 562431 by 26.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 56 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 52 from 56.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
26 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 26 from 42 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 164 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216.0
Subtracting 156 from 164 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 can be fit into 83 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2163.0
Deduct 78 from 83 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 51 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21631.0
Subtract 26 from 51 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 can be fit into 250 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21631.9
Subtract 234 from 250 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21631.96
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.

Step 9:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21631.961
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 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21631.9615
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21631.96153
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.

Step 12:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21631.961538
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21631.9615384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21631.96153846
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 21631.96153846 and a remainder of 4e-09.
