26 goes into 50 once. so put a 1 on top of the 5. multiply the 1 by 26, which is 26. write 26 underneath the "50" in 503. 50-26 = 24. bring down the 3 so you now have 243. how many times can 26 go into 243 evenly? the answer is 9. so put a 9 on top of the 0. multiply the 9 by 26 and you get 234. so whatever 243 - 234 equals, thats your decimal
