Let's divide 156742 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 156742.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 156 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 156 from 156.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 7 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 26

Step 5:
26 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 602.0
Subtract 52 from 74 to get 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 222 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6028.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 208 from 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6028.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6028.53
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 9:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6028.538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6028.5384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 6028.53846
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.

Moving on to step 12:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6028.538461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
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 13:
140 divided by 26 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6028.5384615
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.

On to step 14:
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: 6028.53846153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 6028.53846153, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
