Let's divide 490957 by 28
We want to divide 490957 by 28.

Step 1:
The number 28 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 28

On to step 2:
28 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 28 from 49 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 28

Let's proceed to step 3:
28 can be fit into 210 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 196 from 210, we get 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 28

Moving on to step 4:
28 goes into 149 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtract 140 from 149 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 28

On to step 5:
If we divide 95 by 28, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1753.0
Subtracting 84 from 95 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 28

On to step 6:
117 divided by 28 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17534.0
Subtracting 112 from 117 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17534.1
If we subtract 28 from 50, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17534.17
Deduct 196 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
240 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17534.178
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 28, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17534.1785
If we subtract 140 from 160, we 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 11:
28 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17534.17857
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 196 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
40 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17534.178571
Deduct 28 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
The number 28 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17534.1785714
Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 28 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17534.17857142
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 17534.17857142 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
