We look at the division of 256948 by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 256948 can be divided by 26.

On to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 234 from 256 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Deduct 208 from 229 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 214 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 988.0
If we take 208 away from 214, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
26 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9882.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 52 from 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9882.6
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

Step 8:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9882.61
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.

Step 9:
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: 9882.615
If we take 130 away from 140, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9882.6153
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9882.61538
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.

Step 12:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9882.615384
If we subtract 104 from 120, 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 13:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9882.6153846
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.

Advancing to step 14:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9882.61538461
Deduct 26 from 40 and we're left 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.

The final result is 9882.61538461 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
