Let's divide 491758 by 26
We want to divide 491758 by 26.

Let's proceed to 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
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
26 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 49 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
231 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 208 away from 231, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 237 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we take 234 away from 237, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 goes into 35 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1891.0
If we subtract 26 from 35, we get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18913.0
Deduct 78 from 98 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18913.7
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
26 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18913.76
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 18913.769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18913.7692
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.

Step 11:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18913.76923
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 12:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18913.76923
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
26 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18913.7692307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18913.76923076
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18913.76923076 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
