We divide 539284 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 539284 can be divided by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
26 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 26

On to step 2:
26 can be fit into 53 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 52 from 53 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 26

On to step 4:
26 can be fit into 192 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 207.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 182 from 192.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
26 goes into 108 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2074.0
If we take 104 away from 108, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
26 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20741.0
If we subtract 26 from 44, 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.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20741.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20741.69
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20741.692
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.

Step 10:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20741.6923
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 20741.6923
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 12:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20741.692307
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.

On to step 13:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20741.6923076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20741.69230769
Deduct 234 from 240 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.

The final result is 20741.69230769 with a remainder of 6e-09.
