We're dividing 495798 by 26 
We want to divide 495798 by 26.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 49 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
235 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 234 away from 235, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 26

Step 5:
26 goes into 179 6 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1906.0
Deduct 156 from 179 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 238 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19069.0
If we take 234 away from 238, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19069.1
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19069.15
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19069.153
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19069.1538
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
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 11:
If we divide 120 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19069.15384
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.

Advancing to step 12:
160 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19069.153846
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 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 13:
If we divide 40 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19069.1538461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19069.15384615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19069.15384615 with a balance of 1e-08.
