Let's divide 981657 by 26
We're looking to find how many times 26 goes into 981657.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 26

On to step 2:
98 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 26

Moving on to step 3:
26 goes into 201 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 182 from 201 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 196 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 377.0
Subtract 182 from 196 to get 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
26 can be fit into 145 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3775.0
If we subtract 130 from 145, we get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 26

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 157 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37756.0
Deduct 156 from 157 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
26 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 37756.0
Subtract 0 from 10 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37756.03
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
220 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37756.038
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
26 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37756.0384
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37756.03846
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 12:
40 divided by 26 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37756.038461
Subtracting 26 from 40 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37756.0384615
Deduct 130 from 140 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37756.03846153
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 37756.03846153 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
