Let's divide 486981 by 28
Let's see how many times 28 fits into 486981.

Advancing to step 1:
28 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 28

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 28 from 48, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 28

Step 3:
If we divide 206 by 28, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 196 away from 206, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 28

On to step 4:
109 divided by 28 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 84 from 109 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
258 divided by 28 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1739.0
If we take 252 away from 258, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 28

Advancing to step 6:
The number 28 fits into 61 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17392.0
Deduct 56 from 61 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17392.1
If we take 28 away from 50, we end up with 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:
The number 28 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17392.17
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:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17392.178
Deduct 224 from 240 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.

On to step 10:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17392.1785
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 140 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed 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: 17392.17857
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:
When dividing 40 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17392.178571
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 13:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17392.1785714
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.

Moving on to step 14:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17392.17857142
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 17392.17857142, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
