We're dividing 490446 by 26 
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 490446.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 26

Step 2:
26 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 26 from 49 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 230 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 208 from 230, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 224 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Deduct 208 from 224 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 goes into 164 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1886.0
If we subtract 156 from 164, we get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 86 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18863.0
Deduct 78 from 86 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18863.3
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18863.3
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18863.307
Subtracting 182 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18863.3076
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18863.30769
Subtract 234 from 240 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 12:
The number 26 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18863.307692
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 13:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18863.3076923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18863.3076923
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18863.3076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
