We divide 488374 by 26
The aim is to understand the frequency of 26 in 488374.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 48, we get 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 228 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 208 from 228 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 203 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtract 182 from 203 to get 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 217 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1878.0
Subtract 208 from 217 to get 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 94 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18783.0
If we take 78 away from 94, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 18783.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18783.61
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us 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 9:
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: 18783.615
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.

On to step 10:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18783.6153
Subtract 78 from 100 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18783.61538
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 12.
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 12:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18783.615384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18783.6153846
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18783.61538461
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.

The final result is 18783.61538461 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
