We divide 495601 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 495601.

Step 1:
4 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 26

On to step 2:
26 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 26 from 49 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 235 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 235 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 234 from 235.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 26

Step 4:
16 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 190.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1906.0
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
26 can be fit into 41 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19061.0
Subtracting 26 from 41 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 19061.5
If we take 130 away from 150, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19061.57
If we subtract 182 from 200, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19061.576
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19061.5769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19061.57692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19061.576923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19061.576923
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19061.57692307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19061.57692307 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
