We're dividing 978888 by 28 
Our goal is to divide 978888 by 28.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 28 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 28

Moving on to step 2:
28 goes into 97 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 84 from 97 to get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 28

Let's proceed to step 3:
28 goes into 138 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 112 from 138 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 28

Step 4:
28 can be fit into 268 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 349.0
If we subtract 252 from 268, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 28

Let's proceed to step 5:
28 goes into 168 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3496.0
If we subtract 168 from 168, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 28

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 8 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 34960.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
28 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34960.2
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 28 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34960.28
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
28 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34960.285
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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 34960.2857
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.

On to step 11:
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: 34960.28571
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 34960.285714
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
The number 28 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34960.2857142
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 34960.28571428
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 34960.28571428 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
