538373 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 538373 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 26

Step 2:
When dividing 53 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 52 away from 53, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 183 / 26

Step 4:
If we divide 183 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtracting 182 from 183 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2070.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 can be fit into 173 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20706.0
If we subtract 156 from 173, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
26 can be fit into 170 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20706.6
Deduct 156 from 170 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20706.65
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
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 9:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20706.653
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20706.6538
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us with 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 11:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20706.65384
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.

Step 12:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20706.653846
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20706.6538461
If we subtract 26 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20706.65384615
Deduct 130 from 140 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.

The quotient of the division is 20706.65384615, and the remainder is 1e-08.
