831696 ÷ 26 
Let's see how many times 26 fits into 831696.

Advancing to step 1:
26 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 26

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 83 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 78 from 83 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 26 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 26 from 51.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 26

Advancing to step 4:
26 can be fit into 256 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we take 234 away from 256, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 26

Moving on to step 5:
229 divided by 26 is 8 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3198.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 208 from 229.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 26

Let's proceed to step 6:
26 can be fit into 216 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31988.0
Subtracting 208 from 216 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31988.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31988.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31988.307
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 10:
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: 31988.3076
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 26 fits into 240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31988.30769
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
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 12:
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: 31988.307692
Subtracting 52 from 60 leaves us 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 13:
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: 31988.3076923
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
26 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31988.3076923
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 31988.3076923 with a balance of 2e-08.
