260977 divided by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 260977.

Step 1:
26 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 goes into 26 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 26 to get 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 0 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
9 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 26

Step 5:
When dividing 97 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1003.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 26

On to step 6:
If we divide 197 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10037.0
Subtract 182 from 197 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
26 goes into 150 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10037.5
If we subtract 130 from 150, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10037.57
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 9:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10037.576
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10037.5769
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.

Advancing to step 11:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10037.57692
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10037.576923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10037.576923
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10037.57692307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10037.57692307 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
