We're dividing 11970 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 11970 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 can be fit into 119 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 104 from 119.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 157 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 156 from 157 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 460.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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 6:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 460.3
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 460.38
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.

Step 8:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 460.384
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 9:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 460.3846
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.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 460.38461
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 460.384615
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.

On to step 12:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 460.3846153
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 460.38461538
If we subtract 208 from 220, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 460.38461538 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
