823986 ÷ 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 823986.

On to step 1:
The number 26 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 82 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 78 away from 82, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
43 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 26 from 43 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 26

Step 4:
The number 26 fits into 179 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 316.0
If we take 156 away from 179, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
26 goes into 238 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3169.0
Deduct 234 from 238 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 26

Step 6:
26 can be fit into 46 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31691.0
If we take 26 away from 46, 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.

Step 7:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 31691.7
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 8:
26 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31691.76
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 26, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31691.769
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 10:
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: 31691.7692
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 52 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
26 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31691.76923
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.

Step 12:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31691.76923
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31691.7692307
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31691.76923076
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 31691.76923076 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
