985942 ÷ 28 
We want to figure out the number of times 985942 can be divided by 28.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 28, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 28, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 84 from 98 to get 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 28

Step 3:
28 goes into 145 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 140 away from 145, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 28

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 352.0
If we take 56 away from 59, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 28

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 34 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3521.0
If we subtract 28 from 34, we get 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 28

On to step 6:
The number 28 fits into 62 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 35212.0
Subtracting 56 from 62 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 28, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35212.2
Subtracting 56 from 60 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.

On to step 8:
The number 28 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35212.21
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35212.214
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:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 35212.2142
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.

On to step 11:
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: 35212.21428
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 28 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35212.214285
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.

Step 13:
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: 35212.2142857
If we subtract 196 from 200, we get 4.
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 14:
If we divide 40 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35212.21428571
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 35212.21428571 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
