4 goes into 29 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 387
Subtract 28 from 29 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 4

Step 5:
4 goes into 14 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 3873
