We're dividing 842578 by 29 
We want to divide 842578 by 29.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 29, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 58 from 84 to get 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 262 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 261 from 262.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
29 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 29

Advancing to step 5:
29 can be fit into 157 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2905.0
If we take 145 away from 157, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 29

Moving on to step 6:
29 goes into 128 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29054.0
Subtracting 116 from 128 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
120 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29054.4
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 29054.41
Subtracting 29 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 29 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29054.413
If we subtract 87 from 110, 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 10:
230 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29054.4137
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.

On to step 11:
The number 29 fits into 270 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29054.41379
Subtract 261 from 270 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
29 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29054.413793
If we take 87 away from 90, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
29 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29054.4137931
If we subtract 29 from 30, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
10 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29054.4137931
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 29054.4137931 and a remainder of 1e-08.
