We divide 490554 by 28
We want to figure out the number of times 490554 can be divided by 28.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 28

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 28 from 49 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 210 / 28

Step 3:
210 divided by 28 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 196 from 210, we get 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 28

Step 4:
145 divided by 28 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtracting 140 from 145 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 28

Going ahead to step 5:
28 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1751.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 28 from 55.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 28

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 274 by 28, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17519.0
If we take 252 away from 274, we end up with 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 7:
28 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17519.7
Subtract 196 from 220 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17519.78
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 17519.785
Subtracting 140 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17519.7857
Subtract 196 from 200 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
28 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17519.78571
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
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:
If we divide 120 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17519.785714
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 13:
If we divide 80 by 28, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17519.7857142
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.

Advancing to step 14:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17519.78571428
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17519.78571428 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
