538469 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 538469 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the 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

Going ahead to step 2:
53 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 52 from 53, we get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 18 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
26 goes into 184 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 207.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 182 from 184.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2071.0
Subtract 26 from 26 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 26

On to step 6:
26 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20710.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20710.3
Subtract 78 from 90 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20710.34
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 9:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20710.346
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20710.3461
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.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20710.34615
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 12:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20710.346153
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 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 13:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20710.3461538
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20710.34615384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20710.34615384 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
