We're dividing 879744 by 28 
We want to figure out the number of times 879744 can be divided by 28.

On to step 1:
28 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 28

On to step 2:
The number 28 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 84 from 87 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 28

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 39 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 28 from 39 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 28

On to step 4:
If we divide 117 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we subtract 112 from 117, we get 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 28

Going ahead to step 5:
28 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3141.0
If we take 28 away from 54, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 28

Step 6:
264 divided by 28 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31419.0
If we subtract 252 from 264, 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 7:
28 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31419.4
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.

Moving on to step 8:
28 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31419.42
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.

Step 9:
240 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31419.428
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:
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: 31419.4285
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.

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: 31419.42857
If we subtract 196 from 200, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31419.428571
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
28 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31419.4285714
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
The number 28 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31419.42857142
Deduct 56 from 80 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.

Our division results in 31419.42857142 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
