Let's divide 501997 by 26
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 501997.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
50 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 26 from 50, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 26

Step 3:
If we divide 241 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 234 from 241 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 26

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 193.0
If we subtract 78 from 79, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1930.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 26

Step 6:
197 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19307.0
Subtracting 182 from 197 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
26 goes into 150 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19307.5
If we take 130 away from 150, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19307.57
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19307.576
Subtract 156 from 180 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 26, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19307.5769
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.

On to step 11:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19307.57692
Deduct 52 from 60 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.

Moving on to step 12:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19307.576923
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
26 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19307.576923
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.

On to step 14:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19307.57692307
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.

The final outcome is 19307.57692307, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
