We divide 873697 by 26
We want to figure out the number of times 873697 can be divided by 26.

On to step 1:
26 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 26

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 can be fit into 87 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 87 to get 9.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 26

On to step 3:
If we divide 93 by 26, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 78 from 93.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 26

On to step 4:
26 can be fit into 156 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 336.0
If we subtract 156 from 156, we get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
26 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3360.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 97 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33603.0
If we subtract 78 from 97, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 190 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33603.7
Subtract 182 from 190 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
26 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33603.73
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 9:
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: 33603.73
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 26 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 33603.7307
Subtract 182 from 200 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33603.73076
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
26 goes into 240 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33603.730769
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
26 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33603.7307692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up with 8.
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 14:
80 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33603.73076923
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 33603.73076923, with a leftover of 2e-09.
