We're dividing 491271 by 29 
We want to divide 491271 by 29.

On to step 1:
29 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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

Advancing to step 2:
The number 29 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 29 from 49 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 201 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 201 by 29, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 174 from 201 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 272 by 29, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Deduct 261 from 272 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 29

Advancing to step 5:
29 goes into 117 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1694.0
Subtracting 116 from 117 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 29

On to step 6:
The number 29 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16940.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 29, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16940.3
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
230 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16940.37
Subtracting 203 from 230 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
29 goes into 270 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16940.379
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
90 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16940.3793
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 30 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16940.37931
If we subtract 29 from 30, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
29 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16940.37931
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
29 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16940.3793103
If we subtract 87 from 100, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
29 can be fit into 130 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16940.37931034
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 116 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16940.37931034 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
