996965 ÷ 26 
We want to divide 996965 by 26.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 78 from 99, we get 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 216 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 208 from 216, we get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 383.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 78 from 89.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 116 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3834.0
Deduct 104 from 116 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
125 divided by 26 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38344.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 104 from 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
26 can be fit into 210 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38344.8
Subtracting 208 from 210 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38344.8
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 9:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 38344.807
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 182 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
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: 38344.8076
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38344.80769
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us 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 12:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38344.807692
Subtract 52 from 60 to 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.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38344.8076923
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.

Let's proceed 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: 38344.8076923
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 38344.8076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
