Let's divide 1498 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 1498 can be divided by 26.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 26

On to step 2:
26 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 149 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 130 from 149, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 26

Step 4:
26 goes into 198 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 182 from 198 leaves us 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 5:
26 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.6
If we subtract 156 from 160, we 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 6:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.61
Subtract 26 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.615
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us 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 8:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.6153
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.

On to step 9:
26 can be fit into 220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.61538
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.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.615384
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.6153846
If we subtract 156 from 160, we 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:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.61538461
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.

The final result is 57.61538461 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
