786986 divided by 28 
We want to figure out the number of times 786986 can be divided by 28.

Step 1:
The number 28 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
28 goes into 78 2 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 56 from 78 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 226 / 28

Moving on to step 3:
226 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 224 from 226.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 28

On to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281.0
Subtracting 28 from 29 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 28

On to step 5:
28 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2810.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 28

Step 6:
28 can be fit into 186 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28106.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
28 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28106.6
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28106.64
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.

Step 9:
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: 28106.642
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.

Step 10:
240 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28106.6428
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28106.64285
Subtracting 140 from 160 leaves us with 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 12:
When dividing 200 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28106.642857
Subtracting 196 from 200 leaves us with 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 13:
40 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28106.6428571
Subtract 28 from 40 to get 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 14:
If we divide 120 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28106.64285714
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 28106.64285714 with a balance of 8e-09.
