Let's divide 172839 by 29
Let's see how many times 29 fits into 172839.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 29

Going ahead to step 2:
29 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 29

Let's proceed to step 3:
172 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 145 away from 172, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 29

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 29 fits into 278 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 261 from 278.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 173 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 173 by 29, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 595.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 145 from 173.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 29

Step 6:
29 can be fit into 289 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5959.0
If we subtract 261 from 289, we get 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 7:
If we divide 280 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5959.9
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us with 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 8:
29 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5959.96
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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 5959.965
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 10:
29 can be fit into 150 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5959.9655
Subtracting 145 from 150 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 5959.9655 with a remaining 5e-05.
