We're dividing 589881 by 28 
Let's see how many times 28 fits into 589881.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 28

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 28, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 56 from 58, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 28

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 28 from 29 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
28 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 210.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 28

Step 5:
If we divide 188 by 28, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2106.0
Subtracting 168 from 188 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 28

Step 6:
When dividing 201 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21067.0
If we subtract 196 from 201, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
28 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21067.1
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 220 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21067.17
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.

Step 9:
28 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21067.178
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

Step 10:
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: 21067.1785
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21067.17857
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.

Advancing to step 12:
28 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21067.178571
Subtracting 28 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21067.1785714
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
28 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21067.17857142
Subtract 56 from 80 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21067.17857142 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
