987401 divided by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 987401 can be divided by 26.

Step 1:
The number 26 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 26

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 78 from 98 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 26

Advancing to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 207 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 182 from 207.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 26

Step 4:
When dividing 254 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
Subtract 234 from 254 to get 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3797.0
If we take 182 away from 200, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 26

Step 6:
The number 26 fits into 181 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37976.0
Subtracting 156 from 181 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
26 can be fit into 250 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37976.9
Deduct 234 from 250 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37976.96
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
26 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37976.961
If we subtract 26 from 40, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37976.9615
Subtract 130 from 140 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37976.96153
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37976.961538
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37976.9615384
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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 14:
When dividing 160 by 26, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37976.96153846
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 37976.96153846 and a remainder of 4e-09.
