We divide 486758 by 26
Our goal is to divide 486758 by 26.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 48 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 goes into 226 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 208 from 226 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
26 goes into 187 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 182 from 187.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 26

Step 5:
When dividing 55 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1872.0
Deduct 52 from 55 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
26 goes into 38 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18721.0
If we subtract 26 from 38, we get 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 7:
The number 26 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18721.4
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18721.46
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18721.461
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 26 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18721.4615
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18721.46153
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18721.461538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18721.4615384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18721.46153846
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18721.46153846 with a balance of 4e-09.
