We divide 552579 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 552579.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 52 away from 55, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 26

On to step 3:
If we divide 32 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 26 away from 32, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 26

Step 4:
65 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Subtracting 52 from 65 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 26

Step 5:
The number 26 fits into 137 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2125.0
Subtract 130 from 137 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 26

On to step 6:
26 can be fit into 79 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21253.0
If we subtract 78 from 79, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21253.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21253.03
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21253.038
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21253.0384
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.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21253.03846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21253.038461
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21253.0384615
Subtract 130 from 140 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21253.03846153
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 21253.03846153, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
