498001 divided by 26 
Our goal is to divide 498001 by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 26

On to step 2:
26 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 26 away from 49, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 238 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 234 from 238 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 26

Step 4:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 191.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 140 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1915.0
If we subtract 130 from 140, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 101 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19153.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 78 from 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19153.8
Subtract 208 from 230 to get 22.
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 8:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19153.88
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19153.88 with a balance of 0.012.
