We look at the division of 490852 by 26 
We want to divide 490852 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 26 from 49 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 230 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 208 from 230, we get 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 228 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we take 208 away from 228, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 205 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1887.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 182 from 205.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 26

On to step 6:
If we divide 232 by 26, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18878.0
If we subtract 208 from 232, 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 7:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18878.9
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 8:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18878.92
If we subtract 52 from 60, we get 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 9:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18878.923
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18878.923
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.

Step 11:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18878.92307
If we subtract 182 from 200, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18878.923076
If we subtract 156 from 180, 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.

On to step 13:
26 can be fit into 240 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18878.9230769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18878.92307692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up 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.

Our division results in 18878.92307692 with a remaining 8e-09.
