We look at the division of 28993978 by 731 
Let's see how many times 731 fits into 28993978.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 731 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 731

Advancing to step 2:
731 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 731

Advancing to step 3:
731 goes into 289 0 times with a remainder of 289.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 289 to get 289.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 289 and continue with: 2899 / 731

On to step 4:
When dividing 2899 by 731, we get 3 with a remainder of 706.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2193 from 2899 and we're left with 706.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 706, then repeat: 7063 / 731

Step 5:
If we divide 7063 by 731, we get 9 and a remainder of 484.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 6579 from 7063 to get 484.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 484, then carry on: 4849 / 731

Let's proceed to step 6:
731 goes into 4849 6 times with a remainder of 463.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 396.0
If we take 4386 away from 4849, we end up with 463.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 463, then repeat: 4637 / 731

Advancing to step 7:
The number 731 fits into 4637 6 times, leaving a remainder of 251.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3966.0
The remainder is 251 after subtracting 4386 from 4637.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 251 and continue with: 2518 / 731

Moving on to step 8:
The number 731 fits into 2518 3 times, leaving a remainder of 325.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39663.0
If we subtract 2193 from 2518, we get 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
731 goes into 3250 4 times with a remainder of 326.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39663.4
The remainder is 326 after subtracting 2924 from 3250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 3260 by 731, we get 4 with a remainder of 336.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 39663.44
If we subtract 2924 from 3260, we get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 39663.44 with a balance of 0.336.
