We look at the division of 242459 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 242459.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 26

On to step 2:
26 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 242 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 234 from 242 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 26

Step 4:
26 can be fit into 84 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
Subtract 78 from 84 to get 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 26

Step 5:
65 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 932.0
Subtract 52 from 65 to get 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 139 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9325.0
If we subtract 130 from 139, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9325.3
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 78 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9325.34
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9325.346
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left 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 10:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9325.3461
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9325.34615
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 12:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9325.346153
If we subtract 78 from 100, we 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 13:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9325.3461538
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.

On to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9325.34615384
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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.

The final result is 9325.34615384 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
