279837 ÷ 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 279837.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 26 from 27 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
19 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 26

Step 4:
If we divide 198 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtracting 182 from 198 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 163 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 163 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1076.0
Subtracting 156 from 163 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
77 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10762.0
Deduct 52 from 77 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 250 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10762.9
Subtract 234 from 250 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10762.96
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10762.961
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10762.9615
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us 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 11:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10762.96153
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.

Advancing to step 12:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10762.961538
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10762.9615384
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10762.96153846
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 10762.96153846 with a remainder of 4e-09.
