473985 ÷ 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 473985.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 26

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 26 from 47 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 213 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 213 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 208 from 213 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
26 goes into 59 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 182.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 52 from 59.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 26

Step 5:
78 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1823.0
Subtract 78 from 78 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
26 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18230.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18230.1
If we subtract 26 from 50, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18230.19
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18230.192
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18230.1923
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
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 11:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18230.1923
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.

On to step 12:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18230.192307
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
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 13:
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: 18230.1923076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18230.19230769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final result is 18230.19230769 with a remainder of 6e-09.
