We're dividing 2596 by 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 2596.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
5 goes into 25 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 25 from 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 5 from 9 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 46 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 519.0
If we take 45 away from 46, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
5 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 519.2
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 519.2
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 519.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 519.2 with a balance of 0.0.
