We're dividing 48542 by 28 
Our goal is to divide 48542 by 28.

Step 1:
28 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 28

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 28 away from 48, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 28

Going ahead to step 3:
28 goes into 205 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 196 away from 205, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 28

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 94 by 28, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we subtract 84 from 94, we get 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 28

Let's proceed to step 5:
102 divided by 28 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1733.0
If we take 84 away from 102, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 180 by 28, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1733.6
Subtract 168 from 180 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
120 divided by 28 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1733.64
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 1733.642
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.

On to step 9:
The number 28 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1733.6428
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 28 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1733.64285
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.

Step 11:
200 divided by 28 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1733.642857
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 12:
When dividing 40 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1733.6428571
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1733.64285714
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1733.64285714 with a balance of 8e-09.
