1979 ÷ 28 
Let's see how many times 28 fits into 1979.

Moving on 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 28

On to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 28

On to step 3:
28 goes into 197 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 196 from 197, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
The number 28 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
28 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 70.6
Subtract 168 from 190 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
28 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 70.67
If we take 196 away from 220, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 240 by 28, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.678
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 28 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.6785
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 140 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.67857
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 28 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.678571
If we subtract 28 from 40, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 70.6785714
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
28 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.67857142
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.

After the division, we end up with 70.67857142 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
