To find the range of a set of data, you subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

1. Identify the smallest and largest numbers in the data set:
- The smallest value is 26.
- The largest value is 65.

2. Subtract the smallest value from the largest value:
\[
\text{Range} = \text{Largest Value} - \text{Smallest Value} = 65 - 26 = 39
\]

Therefore, the range of the set of data is **39**.
