142281 divided by 26 
Our goal is to divide 142281 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 26

Step 2:
14 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 26

Step 3:
142 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 130 from 142 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
26 goes into 122 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 104 away from 122, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 188 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 547.0
If we take 182 away from 188, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 61 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5472.0
Deduct 52 from 61 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.3
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 78 from 90.
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 8:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5472.34
Subtract 104 from 120 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5472.346
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5472.3461
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 11:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.34615
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.

On to step 12:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.346153
If we subtract 78 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5472.3461538
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 14:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5472.34615384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5472.34615384 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
