We look at the division of 487176 by 26 
We want to divide 487176 by 26.

Step 1:
4 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
26 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 48, we get 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 227 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 208 from 227 to get 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 26

On to step 4:
191 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtracting 182 from 191 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
97 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1873.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 26

On to step 6:
26 goes into 196 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18737.0
Subtract 182 from 196 to 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.

On to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18737.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 18737.53
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18737.538
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.

Advancing to step 10:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18737.5384
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18737.53846
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18737.538461
Deduct 26 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18737.5384615
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.

Advancing to step 14:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18737.53846153
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.

After the division, we end up with 18737.53846153 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
