We look at the division of 494701 by 29 
We're looking to find how many times 29 goes into 494701.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 29

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 29 away from 49, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 29

Step 3:
If we divide 204 by 29, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 203 from 204 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 29

On to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 170 / 29

Step 5:
170 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1705.0
Subtracting 145 from 170 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 29

Step 6:
29 can be fit into 251 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17058.0
Subtract 232 from 251 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
29 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17058.6
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 29, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17058.65
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17058.655
If we take 145 away from 150, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 17058.655 with a remainder of 0.0005.
