We divide 486772 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 486772.

Advancing to step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 48 leaves us with 22.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 226 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 226 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 208 from 226 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 26

Step 4:
If we divide 187 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtract 182 from 187 to get 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 goes into 57 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1872.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 52 from 57.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
52 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18722.0
Deduct 52 from 52 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
26 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18722.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18722.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18722.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
