Let's divide 502640 by 29
We want to divide 502640 by 29.

Moving on to step 1:
29 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 29, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 29 from 50.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 29

Step 3:
29 goes into 212 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 203 from 212 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 96 / 29

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 96 by 29, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 87 from 96 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 29

Going ahead to step 5:
29 can be fit into 94 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1733.0
If we subtract 87 from 94, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
29 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17332.0
Subtracting 58 from 70 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17332.4
Deduct 116 from 120 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17332.41
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 29 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
29 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17332.413
If we take 87 away from 110, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 230 by 29, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17332.4137
If we subtract 203 from 230, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 270 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17332.41379
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.

On to step 12:
90 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17332.413793
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 30 by 29, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17332.4137931
Deduct 29 from 30 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 14:
29 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17332.4137931
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 17332.4137931 with a remainder of 1e-08.
