Let's divide 252359 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 252359 can be divided by 26.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 252 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 234 from 252.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 183 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 183 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 182 from 183 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 26

On to step 5:
26 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 970.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 26

On to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 159 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9706.0
If we take 156 away from 159, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9706.1
If we take 26 away from 30, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9706.11
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.

Our division results in 9706.11 with a remaining 0.014.
