474972 divided by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 474972 can be divided by 26.

Moving on 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
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 47, we get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
214 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 208 from 214.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 69 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 182.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 52 from 69.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 177 6 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1826.0
If we subtract 156 from 177, we get 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 26

Step 6:
When dividing 212 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18268.0
If we subtract 208 from 212, we 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18268.1
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 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 8:
When dividing 140 by 26, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18268.15
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18268.153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18268.1538
If we take 208 away from 220, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
120 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18268.15384
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18268.153846
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18268.1538461
Subtract 26 from 40 to get 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:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18268.15384615
If we take 130 away from 140, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 18268.15384615, and the remainder is 1e-08.
