271996 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 271996 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 27 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 26

On to step 4:
When dividing 119 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 104 from 119, we get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 26

Step 5:
The number 26 fits into 159 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1046.0
If we take 156 away from 159, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 goes into 36 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10461.0
Subtracting 26 from 36 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.

Step 7:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10461.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10461.38
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.

Step 9:
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: 10461.384
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10461.3846
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10461.38461
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.

On to step 12:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10461.384615
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10461.3846153
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10461.38461538
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.

The final result is 10461.38461538 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
