496975 divided by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 496975.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 26 from 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 26

On to step 3:
26 goes into 236 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 234 from 236 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
26 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 191.0
Subtracting 26 from 29 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 26

On to step 5:
When dividing 37 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1911.0
Deduct 26 from 37 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 can be fit into 115 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 19114.0
If we subtract 104 from 115, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
110 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19114.4
Subtract 104 from 110 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19114.42
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19114.423
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19114.423
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:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19114.42307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed 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: 19114.423076
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19114.4230769
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 14:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19114.42307692
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19114.42307692 with a balance of 8e-09.
