Let's divide 257905 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 257905.

Advancing to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
26 goes into 257 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 234 away from 257, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 239 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtract 234 from 239 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 50 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 991.0
Subtract 26 from 50 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 26

On to step 6:
If we divide 245 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9919.0
If we take 234 away from 245, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9919.4
Deduct 104 from 110 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9919.42
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9919.423
If we subtract 78 from 80, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9919.423
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

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: 9919.42307
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9919.423076
Subtract 156 from 180 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9919.4230769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9919.42307692
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.

Our division results in 9919.42307692 with a remaining 8e-09.
