840496 ÷ 28 
We want to divide 840496 by 28.

Let's proceed 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 (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 28

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 28, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 84 from 84 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 28

Step 3:
28 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 28

On to step 4:
28 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 300.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 28

On to step 5:
28 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3001.0
Subtract 28 from 49 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 28

On to step 6:
If we divide 216 by 28, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30017.0
Subtract 196 from 216 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
200 divided by 28 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 30017.7
Deduct 196 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30017.71
Subtracting 28 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 30017.714
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.

Advancing to step 10:
28 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30017.7142
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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 11:
The number 28 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30017.71428
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.

On to step 12:
The number 28 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30017.714285
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 28 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30017.7142857
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 196 from 200.
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 14:
When dividing 40 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30017.71428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 30017.71428571 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
