We're dividing 588738 by 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 588738.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 26

Step 2:
58 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 52 from 58 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 68 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 52 from 68 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 26

Step 4:
The number 26 fits into 167 6 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 226.0
If we subtract 156 from 167, we get 11.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 113 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 goes into 113 4 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2264.0
If we subtract 104 from 113, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22643.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22643.7
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22643.76
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22643.769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22643.7692
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22643.76923
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22643.76923
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22643.7692307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22643.76923076
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22643.76923076 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
