159538 ÷ 29 
Our goal is to divide 159538 by 29.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 29

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 29

Let's proceed to step 3:
159 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 145 from 159 to get 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
29 can be fit into 145 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 145 from 145 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 550.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
29 can be fit into 38 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5501.0
If we take 29 away from 38, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
29 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5501.3
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 8:
The number 29 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5501.31
If we take 29 away from 30, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 10 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5501.31
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 29 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5501.3103
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 87 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 130 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5501.31034
Deduct 116 from 130 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
29 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5501.310344
Subtract 116 from 140 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5501.310344 and a remainder of 2.4e-06.
