We look at the division of 871217 by 28 
We want to figure out the number of times 871217 can be divided by 28.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 28 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 84 from 87.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 28

On to step 3:
If we divide 31 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 28 from 31 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 28

On to step 4:
32 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 311.0
Deduct 28 from 32 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 28

On to step 5:
The number 28 fits into 41 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3111.0
Subtracting 28 from 41 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 28

Advancing to step 6:
28 can be fit into 137 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31114.0
Deduct 112 from 137 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
28 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31114.8
If we take 224 away from 250, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
28 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31114.89
Subtracting 252 from 260 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31114.892
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 28, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31114.8928
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31114.89285
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 28, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31114.892857
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.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31114.8928571
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 31114.89285714
If we take 112 away from 120, 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.

The quotient of the division is 31114.89285714, and the remainder is 8e-09.
