We're dividing 260609 by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 260609 can be divided by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
26 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 26, we get 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
26 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1002.0
If we subtract 52 from 60, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 26

Step 6:
If we divide 89 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10023.0
Subtract 78 from 89 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.42
If we subtract 52 from 60, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10023.423
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.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10023.423
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10023.42307
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.

Moving on to step 12:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10023.423076
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.4230769
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.

Advancing to step 14:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10023.42307692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10023.42307692 with a balance of 8e-09.
