172743 divided by 26 
We want to divide 172743 by 26.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 26

Step 3:
26 goes into 172 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 156 from 172 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 26

Step 4:
167 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we subtract 156 from 167, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 26

Step 5:
26 goes into 114 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 664.0
Deduct 104 from 114 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
103 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6643.0

Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6643.961
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.

Moving on to step 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6643.9615
Subtract 130 from 140 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6643.96153
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.

Moving on to step 12:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6643.961538
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 13:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6643.9615384
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6643.96153846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 6643.96153846 with a remainder of 4e-09.
