Let's divide 206542 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 206542.

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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 206 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 182 from 206 to get 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 245 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Deduct 234 from 245 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
114 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 794.0
If we subtract 104 from 114, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
102 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7943.0
If we subtract 78 from 102, 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 7:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7943.9
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.

On to step 8:
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: 7943.92
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7943.923
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:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7943.923
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.

Advancing to step 11:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7943.92307
If we take 182 away from 200, we end up with 18.
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:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7943.923076
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.

Step 13:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7943.9230769
If we subtract 234 from 240, we 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:
If we divide 60 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7943.92307692
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7943.92307692 with a balance of 8e-09.
