We're dividing 235971 by 28 
Our goal is to divide 235971 by 28.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 28

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 28

Let's proceed to step 3:
235 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 224 from 235, we get 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 28

On to step 4:
If we divide 119 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 112 from 119 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
77 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 842.0
Subtract 56 from 77 to get 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 28

Step 6:
28 can be fit into 211 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8427.0
If we take 196 away from 211, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
28 goes into 150 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8427.5
Subtracting 140 from 150 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 28, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8427.53
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 28, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8427.535
Subtract 140 from 160 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8427.5357
Subtract 196 from 200 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8427.53571
If we take 28 away from 40, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 28 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8427.535714
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
28 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8427.5357142
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 28, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8427.53571428
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8427.53571428 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
