We look at the division of 148961 by 26 
We want to divide 148961 by 26.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
26 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 148 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 130 from 148.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 26

On to step 4:
26 can be fit into 189 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 182 from 189 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 can be fit into 76 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we subtract 52 from 76, we get 24.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 241 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 goes into 241 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5729.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 234 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5729.2
Subtract 52 from 70 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5729.26
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5729.269
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5729.2692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5729.26923
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5729.26923
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5729.2692307
If we take 182 away from 200, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5729.26923076
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5729.26923076 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
