12740 divided by 29 
We want to figure out the number of times 12740 can be divided by 29.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 29

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 29

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 127 by 29, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 116 from 127 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 29

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 114 by 29, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 87 from 114.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 270 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
270 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 439.0
Subtract 261 from 270 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
90 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 439.3
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
29 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 439.31
Subtracting 29 from 30 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
29 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 439.31
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 439.3103
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.

Step 10:
130 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 439.31034
Deduct 116 from 130 and we're left 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 11:
The number 29 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 439.310344
Subtract 116 from 140 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 439.310344 with a remainder of 2.4e-06.
