We're dividing 280446 by 26 
Our goal is to divide 280446 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 26 from 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 204 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 182 from 204.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 224 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1078.0
Subtract 208 from 224 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
26 goes into 166 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10786.0
If we subtract 156 from 166, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10786.3
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10786.38
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us 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 9:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10786.384
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 10:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10786.3846
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10786.38461
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us 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 12:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10786.384615
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
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 13:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10786.3846153
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:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10786.38461538
If we take 208 away from 220, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10786.38461538 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
