We look at the division of 42440 by 29 
We want to figure out the number of times 42440 can be divided by 29.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 29

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 29 fits into 42 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 29 from 42 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 29

On to step 3:
If we divide 134 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 116 from 134.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 29

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 29, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we take 174 away from 184, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 100 / 29

On to step 5:
29 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1463.0
If we take 87 away from 100, 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.

On to step 6:
When dividing 130 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1463.4
If we subtract 116 from 130, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
29 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1463.44
Subtract 116 from 140 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.

After the division, we end up with 1463.44 and a remainder of 0.024.
