Let's divide 869742 by 28
Let's see how many times 28 fits into 869742.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 28

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 28, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 84 from 86, we get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 28

Let's proceed to step 3:
28 can be fit into 29 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 28

Moving on to step 4:
28 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
174 divided by 28 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3106.0
Deduct 168 from 174 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 28

Step 6:
62 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31062.0
Subtract 56 from 62 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 28 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31062.2
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31062.21
Subtracting 28 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31062.214
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 80 by 28, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31062.2142
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.

On to step 11:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31062.21428
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31062.214285
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.

Advancing to step 13:
28 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31062.2142857
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.

Moving on to step 14:
28 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31062.21428571
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 31062.21428571 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
