Let's divide 488487 by 28
Our goal is to divide 488487 by 28.

On to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 28

Step 2:
The number 28 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 28 from 48 to get 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 28

Going ahead to step 3:
28 can be fit into 208 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 196 from 208 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 28

On to step 4:
When dividing 124 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 112 from 124 to get 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 28

On to step 5:
28 goes into 128 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1744.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 112 from 128.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 28

On to step 6:
28 goes into 167 5 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17445.0
If we subtract 140 from 167, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
270 divided by 28 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17445.9
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 252 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 28, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17445.96
Subtracting 168 from 180 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.

Step 9:
28 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17445.964
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.

Moving on to step 10:
28 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17445.9642
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.

On to step 11:
28 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17445.96428
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 12:
The number 28 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17445.964285
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.

Moving on to step 13:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17445.9642857
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 14:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17445.96428571
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.

Our division results in 17445.96428571 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
