We're dividing 118143 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 118143 by 26.

On to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
118 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 104 from 118 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 26

On to step 4:
141 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 130 away from 141, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 114 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 114 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 454.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 104 from 114.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 26

On to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 103 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.0
If we subtract 78 from 103, we 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.

Step 7:
26 goes into 250 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.9
If we subtract 234 from 250, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4543.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4543.961
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.9615
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:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4543.96153
Subtract 78 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4543.961538
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.9615384
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4543.96153846
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.

Our division results in 4543.96153846 with a remaining 4e-09.
