Let's divide 872073 by 29
We want to figure out the number of times 872073 can be divided by 29.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
The number 29 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 87 from 87.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 29

On to step 3:
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: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 29

Moving on to step 4:
The number 29 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 300.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
The number 29 fits into 207 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3007.0
Deduct 203 from 207 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 29

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 43 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30071.0
Subtract 29 from 43 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30071.4
Subtracting 116 from 140 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 30071.48
If we subtract 232 from 240, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
80 divided by 29 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30071.482
Subtract 58 from 80 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 30071.4827
If we take 203 away from 220, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 170 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30071.48275
Deduct 145 from 170 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 250 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30071.482758
Subtracting 232 from 250 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.

Step 13:
29 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30071.4827586
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 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 14:
When dividing 60 by 29, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30071.48275862
Subtracting 58 from 60 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 30071.48275862, with a leftover of 2e-09.
