540831 ÷ 29 
We want to divide 540831 by 29.

Advancing to step 1:
29 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 29

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 29 from 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 250 / 29

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 250 by 29, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 232 away from 250, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 29

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 188 by 29, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 186.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 174 from 188.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 143 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1864.0
Subtract 116 from 143 to get 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 29

Going ahead to step 6:
271 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18649.0
If we subtract 261 from 271, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
29 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18649.3
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 87 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
130 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18649.34
Subtracting 116 from 130 leaves us with 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 9:
140 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18649.344
If we take 116 away from 140, we end up 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.

Our division results in 18649.344 with a remaining 0.0024.
