Let's divide 29685871 by 142
We want to divide 29685871 by 142.

Moving on to step 1:
142 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 142

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 142

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 296 by 142, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 284 from 296 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 142

Moving on to step 4:
142 can be fit into 128 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 128, we end up with 128.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 128, then repeat: 1285 / 142

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 142 fits into 1285 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Deduct 1278 from 1285 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 142

Step 6:
78 divided by 142 is 0 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2090.0
Subtracting 0 from 78 leaves us with 78.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 787 / 142

Moving on to step 7:
787 divided by 142 is 5 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20905.0
Deduct 710 from 787 and we're left with 77.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 771 / 142

On to step 8:
142 goes into 771 5 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 209055.0
Subtracting 710 from 771 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 610 by 142, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209055.4
Deduct 568 from 610 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 420 by 142, we get 2 with a remainder of 136.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 209055.42
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 284 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 142 fits into 1360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 209055.429
If we subtract 1278 from 1360, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 820 by 142, we get 5 with a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 209055.4295
If we subtract 710 from 820, we get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
142 goes into 1100 7 times with a remainder of 106.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209055.42957
If we subtract 994 from 1100, we get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
142 goes into 1060 7 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 209055.429577
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 994 from 1060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

The final result is 209055.429577 with a remainder of 6.6e-06.
