Let's divide 686881 by 28
We want to divide 686881 by 28.

Advancing to step 1:
28 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 28, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 56 from 68.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 28

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 126 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 112 from 126 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 28

On to step 4:
28 can be fit into 148 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we take 140 away from 148, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 28

Step 5:
When dividing 88 by 28, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2453.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 28

Let's proceed to step 6:
41 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24531.0
If we take 28 away from 41, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24531.4
If we take 112 away from 130, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
28 can be fit into 180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 24531.46
If we subtract 168 from 180, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 28 fits into 120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24531.464
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
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 10:
28 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24531.4642
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.

Moving on to step 11:
28 goes into 240 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24531.46428
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 28, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24531.464285
If we take 140 away from 160, we end up 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 13:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 24531.4642857
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 14:
40 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24531.46428571
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.

Our division results in 24531.46428571 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
