Let's divide 283742 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 283742.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 26 from 28 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 26

Step 3:
26 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 237 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 234 from 237 to get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 26

On to step 5:
34 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1091.0
Subtract 26 from 34 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 82 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10913.0
If we take 78 away from 82, we end up 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.

Step 7:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10913.1
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
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 8:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10913.15
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.

Moving on to step 9:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10913.153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 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 10:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10913.1538
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10913.15384
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10913.153846
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.

Step 13:
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: 10913.1538461
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10913.15384615
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.

The final result is 10913.15384615 with a remainder of 1e-08.
