3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 529
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Step 5:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 5299
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
