The number is 25.

Let #n=# the number

Product is the answer to a multiplication problem, so

#n*26=650#

To get #n# by itself, diivide both sides by 26

#(n*26)/26=650/26#

#n=25#

Another way to think of this is: If a number multiplied by 26 equals 650, then 650 divided by 26 equals the number. So,

#650-:26=25#
