We're dividing 852972 by 28 
We're looking to find how many times 28 goes into 852972.

On to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 28

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 28 fits into 85 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 84 from 85 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 28

Advancing to step 3:
28 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 129 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 304.0
Deduct 112 from 129 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 28

Step 5:
177 divided by 28 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3046.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 168 from 177.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 92 / 28

On to step 6:
28 goes into 92 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30463.0
If we take 84 away from 92, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30463.2
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Step 8:
The number 28 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30463.28
If we subtract 224 from 240, we 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 9:
If we divide 160 by 28, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30463.285
If we subtract 140 from 160, we get 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 10:
If we divide 200 by 28, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30463.2857
Subtracting 196 from 200 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 40 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 30463.28571
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30463.285714
If we subtract 112 from 120, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 28 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 30463.2857142
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30463.28571428
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.

Our division results in 30463.28571428 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
