We're dividing 242687 by 29 
We want to divide 242687 by 29.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 29

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 29

On to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 29, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 232 from 242.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 29

Let's proceed to step 4:
29 goes into 106 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 87 from 106 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
29 goes into 198 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 836.0
If we subtract 174 from 198, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 29

Step 6:
29 goes into 247 8 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8368.0
If we subtract 232 from 247, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
29 can be fit into 150 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8368.5
Deduct 145 from 150 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 29, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8368.51
If we take 29 away from 50, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 210 by 29, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8368.517
Subtracting 203 from 210 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
70 divided by 29 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8368.5172
Deduct 58 from 70 and we're left with 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 11:
If we divide 120 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8368.51724
Subtract 116 from 120 to 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.

Step 12:
40 divided by 29 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8368.517241
Deduct 29 from 40 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
29 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8368.5172413
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 230 by 29, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8368.51724137
If we subtract 203 from 230, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8368.51724137, with a leftover of 2.7e-08.
