We divide 42671 by 28
We want to divide 42671 by 28.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 28 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 28 from 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 28

Moving on to step 3:
28 goes into 146 5 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 140 from 146 to get 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 28

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 67 by 28, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152.0
If we take 56 away from 67, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 28

Let's proceed to step 5:
28 goes into 111 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1523.0
If we take 84 away from 111, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 28 fits into 270 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1523.9
If we subtract 252 from 270, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 28, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1523.96
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
120 divided by 28 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1523.964
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 28, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1523.9642
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 28, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1523.96428
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.

Step 11:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1523.964285
Subtract 140 from 160 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
200 divided by 28 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1523.9642857
If we take 196 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
28 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1523.96428571
If we subtract 28 from 40, 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.

The final result is 1523.96428571 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
