496596 ÷ 26 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 26 in 496596.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 26

Step 2:
The number 26 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 49 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 236 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 234 from 236 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 25 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 can be fit into 259 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1909.0
If we take 234 away from 259, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
26 goes into 256 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19099.0
If we subtract 234 from 256, we 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 220 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 19099.8
If we take 208 away from 220, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19099.84
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19099.846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
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 10:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19099.8461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19099.84615
If we take 130 away from 140, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19099.846153
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19099.8461538
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us with 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 14:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19099.84615384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 19099.84615384 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
