403844 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 403844 by 26.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 26

Step 2:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 14.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 143 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 143 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 130 from 143 to get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 138 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 130 away from 138, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 26

On to step 5:
26 goes into 84 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1553.0
Deduct 78 from 84 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
26 goes into 64 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15532.0
Subtract 52 from 64 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 15532.4
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15532.46
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 9:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15532.461
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.

Moving on to step 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15532.4615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left 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 11:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15532.46153
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 12:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15532.461538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left 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 13:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15532.4615384
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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 14:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15532.46153846
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15532.46153846 with a balance of 4e-09.
