Let's divide 539706 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 539706.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 52 away from 53, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 197 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Deduct 182 from 197 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 150 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2075.0
Subtract 130 from 150 to get 20.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 206 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20757.0
If we subtract 182 from 206, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20757.9
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20757.92
Subtract 52 from 60 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20757.923
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20757.923
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20757.92307
If we subtract 182 from 200, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20757.923076
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20757.9230769
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20757.92307692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20757.92307692 and a remainder of 8e-09.
