Let's divide 496993 by 29
Our goal is to divide 496993 by 29.

On to step 1:
29 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 29 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 29 away from 49, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 29

Step 3:
When dividing 206 by 29, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 203 from 206 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 29

On to step 4:
29 goes into 39 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 29 from 39 to get 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
29 can be fit into 109 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1713.0
Deduct 87 from 109 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 223 by 29, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17137.0
Deduct 203 from 223 and we're left with 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 7:
29 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17137.6
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
29 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17137.68
If we take 232 away from 260, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 29, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17137.689
Subtract 261 from 280 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.

On to step 10:
29 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17137.6896
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17137.68965
If we take 145 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
The number 29 fits into 150 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17137.689655
Subtract 145 from 150 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17137.689655 with a balance of 5e-07.
