Let's divide 254840 by 26
We want to divide 254840 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 26

Step 2:
The number 26 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 254 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 234 from 254.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
26 can be fit into 208 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 208 from 208.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 980.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9801.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9801.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9801.53
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.

Going ahead 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: 9801.538
If we take 208 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9801.5384
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.

Moving on to step 11:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9801.53846
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9801.538461
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9801.5384615
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9801.53846153
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.

The final outcome is 9801.53846153, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
