We're dividing 878412 by 28 
We want to divide 878412 by 28.

Advancing to step 1:
28 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 28

Step 2:
The number 28 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 84 from 87.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 28

Going ahead to step 3:
38 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 28 from 38, we get 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 104 by 28, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
Subtracting 84 from 104 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 201 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3137.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 196 from 201.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 28

Step 6:
28 can be fit into 52 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31371.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 28 from 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
28 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31371.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 28, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31371.85
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 9:
The number 28 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 31371.857
If we take 196 away from 200, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31371.8571
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 28 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 31371.85714
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 12:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31371.857142
If we subtract 56 from 80, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 28 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31371.8571428
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 28, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31371.85714285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 31371.85714285 with a balance of 2e-08.
