To solve the equation \( 27 \cdot 34 - 1 = 26 \), we first evaluate \( 27 \cdot 34 \):

1. Calculate \( 27 \cdot 34 \):
\[
27 \cdot 34 = 918
\]

2. Subtract 1 from 918:
\[
918 - 1 = 917
\]

Now we have \( 917 \neq 26 \), so \( 27 \cdot 34 - 1 \) does not equal 26. Based on the responses available, it seems that we are asked to evaluate what makes the original equation true for possible values provided.

Since \( 27 \cdot 34 - 1 \) does not equal 26, we need to consider the choices provided to find the correct answer based on other conditions or simplifications:

1. **2527**: This does not match.
2. **Start Fraction 25 over 27 End Fraction**: This is a fraction.
3. **3**: This is a number.
4. **1**: This is a number.
5. **0**: This is a number.

Given that we need to choose one of those answers based on the information we have, and since none of them solve the equation as stated, we will take a logical guess.

After examining the provided options, if the equation as given didn't hold true, I would infer more context is needed for a definite answer. However, if I had to select one of the provided numerical answers, I would lean towards **0**, as it's commonly used for representing a lack of value or null result, which aligns with our finding that \( 27 \cdot 34 - 1 \neq 26\).

Thus, I suggest the answer is **0**.
