How to divide really big numbers in Google Sheets

How to divide really big numbers in Google Sheets.
As part of the creation of an IBAN number generator, I need to divide the 26-digit number by the number 97 to find out the check digits in the IBAN number.
After about an hour of searching, I found out that Google Sheets cannot calculate with such large numbers.
[Google Sheets not processing very large numbers][1]
But how to do it?
How to bypass this limitation in Google Sheets?
I am trying to find the first 6 digits after the decimal point after dividing a 26 digit number by 97.

I have the same problem in LibreOffice Calc.


I am not looking for a way to verify the validity of the entire IBAN number.
