We're dividing 51297 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 51297.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 26

On to step 2:
51 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 26 from 51.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 26

On to step 3:
252 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 234 from 252.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
189 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 197.0
Subtracting 182 from 189 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 can be fit into 77 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1972.0
Subtract 52 from 77 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 6:
250 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1972.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1972.96
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1972.961
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.

Advancing to step 9:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1972.9615
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
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 10:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1972.96153
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1972.961538
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.

Advancing to step 12:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1972.9615384
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.

Advancing to step 13:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1972.96153846
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.

Our division results in 1972.96153846 with a remaining 4e-09.
