We look at the division of 493258 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 493258.

Step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 26

Step 2:
The number 26 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 26 away from 49, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 233 / 26

On to step 3:
26 goes into 233 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 208 from 233 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 252 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 26 fits into 252 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 189.0
Subtract 234 from 252 to get 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 26

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 185 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1897.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 182 from 185.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18971.0
If we subtract 26 from 38, we get 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 7:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18971.4
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18971.46
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.

Advancing to step 9:
26 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18971.461
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 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18971.4615
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
26 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18971.46153
If we subtract 78 from 100, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18971.461538
Subtract 208 from 220 to get 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 13:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18971.4615384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
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 14:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18971.46153846
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 18971.46153846, and the remainder is 4e-09.
