173949 ÷ 29 
Our goal is to divide 173949 by 29.

On to step 1:
29 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 29

Step 2:
When dividing 17 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
The number 29 fits into 173 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 145 from 173 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 29

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 289 by 29, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 261 from 289 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 29

Step 5:
The number 29 fits into 284 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 599.0
If we subtract 261 from 284, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 29

On to step 6:
When dividing 239 by 29, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5998.0
Subtracting 232 from 239 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 29, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5998.2
Subtract 58 from 70 to get 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 8:
120 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5998.24
Deduct 116 from 120 and we're left with 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 9:
If we divide 40 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5998.241
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 10:
The number 29 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5998.2413
Subtracting 87 from 110 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
29 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5998.24137
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 12:
29 goes into 270 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5998.241379
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
90 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5998.2413793
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left 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 14:
The number 29 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5998.24137931
Subtract 29 from 30 to 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.

Our division results in 5998.24137931 with a remaining 1e-09.
