Answer:

13, but see image for "repeated subtraction" representation

Explanation:

Division can be represented as repeated subtraction. Begin with the dividend, 26, in this case. Subtract 2 (the divisor) over and over again and count how many times it can be subtracted. This result from counting is the quotient (answer to a division) See image.
