Let's divide 147729 by 28
We want to divide 147729 by 28.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 28

On to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 28

Step 3:
The number 28 fits into 147 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 140 from 147.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
The number 28 fits into 77 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 56 from 77, we get 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
28 can be fit into 212 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 527.0
If we subtract 196 from 212, we get 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 28

Going ahead to step 6:
28 can be fit into 169 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5276.0
Subtract 168 from 169 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 28 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5276.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 28, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5276.03
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 28, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5276.035
Deduct 140 from 160 and we're left 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 10:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5276.0357
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.

On to step 11:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5276.03571
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
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 12:
The number 28 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5276.035714
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 28, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5276.0357142
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
240 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5276.03571428
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

Our division results in 5276.03571428 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
