We divide 159088 by 29
We want to divide 159088 by 29.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 29

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
29 can be fit into 159 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 145 from 159 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 29

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 140 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 116 from 140 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 29

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 248 by 29, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
If we take 232 away from 248, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 29

On to step 6:
168 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5485.0
If we subtract 145 from 168, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
230 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5485.7
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 203 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 270 by 29, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5485.79
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 29 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5485.793
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
29 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5485.7931
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 29 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 29 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5485.7931
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 29, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5485.793103
If we subtract 87 from 100, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 29 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5485.7931034
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 116 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
140 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5485.79310344
If we take 116 away from 140, we end up 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.

Our division results in 5485.79310344 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
