Let's divide 494255 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 494255.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 26

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 49 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 26

Step 3:
234 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 234 from 234.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 25 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1900.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 255 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19009.0
Deduct 234 from 255 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 goes into 210 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19009.8
Subtract 208 from 210 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19009.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 9:
If we divide 200 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19009.807
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19009.8076
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19009.80769
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19009.807692
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19009.8076923
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19009.8076923
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19009.8076923, with a leftover of 2e-08.
