Let's divide 490962 by 26
Our goal is to divide 490962 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
26 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 26 from 49.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 26

Step 3:
26 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 208 from 230 to get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 229 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtract 208 from 229 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
216 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1888.0
Subtract 208 from 216 to get 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 26

Step 6:
26 can be fit into 82 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18883.0
If we subtract 78 from 82, 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 7:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18883.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18883.15
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 9:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18883.153
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 10:
If we divide 220 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18883.1538
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 120 by 26, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18883.15384
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18883.153846
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.

On to step 13:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18883.1538461
Deduct 26 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
26 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18883.15384615
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 130 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18883.15384615, with a leftover of 1e-08.
