We're dividing 972024 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 972024.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 can be fit into 97 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 78 from 97, we get 19.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 192 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 192 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 182 from 192 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 100 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 373.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 222 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3738.0
Subtracting 208 from 222 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 26

Step 6:
If we divide 144 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37385.0
If we subtract 130 from 144, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37385.5
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us 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 8:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37385.53
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.

Advancing to step 9:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 37385.538
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 37385.5384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
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 11:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37385.53846
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37385.538461
If we subtract 26 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 37385.5384615
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37385.53846153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 37385.53846153 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
