Let's divide 256697 by 29
Our goal is to divide 256697 by 29.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 29, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 232 from 256 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
29 goes into 246 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
If we subtract 232 from 246, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
29 can be fit into 149 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 885.0
Subtract 145 from 149 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 29

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 29 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8851.0
Subtracting 29 from 47 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
29 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8851.6
Subtract 174 from 180 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 29, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8851.62
If we take 58 away from 60, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
29 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8851.62
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
29 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8851.6206
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 29 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8851.62068
If we subtract 232 from 260, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
280 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8851.620689
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 261 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
29 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8851.6206896
If we subtract 174 from 190, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8851.62068965
Deduct 145 from 160 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 8851.62068965 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
