We divide 140720 by 26
We want to divide 140720 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 26

Step 2:
26 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 26

On to step 3:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 26

On to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 107 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 104 from 107 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 26

On to step 5:
When dividing 32 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.0
If we subtract 26 from 32, we get 6.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 60 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5412.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.3
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5412.3
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 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 9:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.307
If we subtract 182 from 200, we get 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 10:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5412.3076
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5412.30769
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.

Moving on to step 12:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5412.307692
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 13:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.3076923
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5412.3076923
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 5412.3076923 with a remainder of 2e-08.
