We're dividing 26045844 by 498 
We want to divide 26045844 by 498.

On to step 1:
The number 498 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 498

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 498, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 498

Advancing to step 3:
260 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 260.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 260 after subtracting 0 from 260.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 260, then repeat: 2604 / 498

On to step 4:
2604 divided by 498 is 5 with a remainder of 114.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2490 from 2604, we get 114.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 114 and continue with: 1145 / 498

On to step 5:
498 can be fit into 1145 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 996 from 1145, we get 149.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 149 and continue with: 1498 / 498

Moving on to step 6:
498 can be fit into 1498 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 523.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 1494 from 1498.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 498

Advancing to step 7:
498 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5230.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 498

Let's proceed to step 8:
444 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 444.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52300.0
If we take 0 away from 444, we end up with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
4440 divided by 498 is 8 with a remainder of 456.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52300.8
Subtracting 3984 from 4440 leaves us with 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
498 goes into 4560 9 times with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52300.89
Subtract 4482 from 4560 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
780 divided by 498 is 1 with a remainder of 282.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 52300.891
Deduct 498 from 780 and we're left with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 2820 by 498, we get 5 and a remainder of 330.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52300.8915
Subtract 2490 from 2820 to get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 3300 by 498, we get 6 with a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52300.89156
If we subtract 2988 from 3300, we get 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
3120 divided by 498 is 6 with a remainder of 132.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52300.891566
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 2988 from 3120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 52300.891566 with a balance of 1.32e-05.
