We're dividing 26588138 by 496 
We're looking to find how many times 496 goes into 26588138.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 496, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 496

Moving on to step 2:
26 divided by 496 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 496

On to step 3:
496 goes into 265 0 times with a remainder of 265.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 265 and we're left with 265.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 265, then repeat: 2658 / 496

Going ahead to step 4:
496 goes into 2658 5 times with a remainder of 178.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2480 away from 2658, we end up with 178.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 178 and repeat the process: 1788 / 496

On to step 5:
If we divide 1788 by 496, we get 3 and a remainder of 300.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 1488 from 1788, we get 300.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 300, then repeat: 3001 / 496

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3001 by 496, we get 6 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 536.0
Subtracting 2976 from 3001 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 496

Advancing to step 7:
The number 496 fits into 253 0 times, leaving a remainder of 253.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5360.0
If we take 0 away from 253, we end up with 253.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 253 and continue: 2538 / 496

On to step 8:
The number 496 fits into 2538 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53605.0
Subtracting 2480 from 2538 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 9:
496 can be fit into 580 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53605.1
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 496 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
496 can be fit into 840 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 344.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53605.11
Subtract 496 from 840 to get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

The final result is 53605.11 with a remainder of 0.344.
