Let's divide 985942 by 26
We want to divide 985942 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
26 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 26

On to step 2:
98 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 78 from 98 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 205 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 182 from 205 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 26

On to step 4:
26 can be fit into 239 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.0
Deduct 234 from 239 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 54 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3792.0
Subtracting 52 from 54 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
26 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37920.0
Subtract 0 from 22 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37920.8
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37920.84
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 37920.846
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37920.8461
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 11:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37920.84615
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us 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 12:
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: 37920.846153
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.

Step 13:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37920.8461538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37920.84615384
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.

The final outcome is 37920.84615384, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
