854498 ÷ 26 
We want to divide 854498 by 26.

Step 1:
26 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
26 goes into 85 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 78 from 85, we get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 26

On to step 3:
26 can be fit into 74 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 52 from 74.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 224 / 26

Step 4:
224 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 328.0
Subtract 208 from 224 to get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 169 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3286.0
If we take 156 away from 169, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
26 can be fit into 138 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32865.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 130 from 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32865.3
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.

On to step 8:
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: 32865.3
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32865.307
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.

Step 10:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32865.3076
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up 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 11:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32865.30769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
26 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32865.307692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 32865.3076923
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32865.3076923
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 32865.3076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
