988306 ÷ 26 
Our goal is to divide 988306 by 26.

Going ahead to step 1:
26 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 78 from 98 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
208 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 208 from 208 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 380.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 30 by 26, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3801.0
If we subtract 26 from 30, we get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 26

On to step 6:
When dividing 46 by 26, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38011.0
Deduct 26 from 46 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38011.7
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.

On to step 8:
180 divided by 26 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38011.76
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38011.769
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 60 by 26, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38011.7692
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.

On 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: 38011.76923
Subtracting 78 from 80 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38011.76923
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 13:
200 divided by 26 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38011.7692307
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 38011.76923076
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 38011.76923076 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
