We divide 140683 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 140683.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 106 / 26

On to step 4:
106 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 104 from 106, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 541.0
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

Advancing to step 6:
26 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5410.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5410.8
If we subtract 208 from 230, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5410.88
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.

The final result is 5410.88 with a remainder of 0.012.
