We divide 501837 by 28
We want to figure out the number of times 501837 can be divided by 28.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 28 from 50 to get 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 28

Going ahead to step 3:
221 divided by 28 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 196 from 221 to get 25.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 258 / 28

Step 4:
28 goes into 258 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtract 252 from 258 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 28

On to step 5:
The number 28 fits into 63 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1792.0
Subtract 56 from 63 to get 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 28

Step 6:
28 goes into 77 2 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17922.0
Subtract 56 from 77 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
28 goes into 210 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17922.7
Subtracting 196 from 210 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
28 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.75
Subtracting 140 from 140 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
28 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17922.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17922.75 with a remaining 0.0.
