We divide 257641 by 29
We want to divide 257641 by 29.

Step 1:
29 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 29

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
29 goes into 257 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 232 away from 257, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 29

Moving on to step 4:
The number 29 fits into 256 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88.0
If we take 232 away from 256, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 29

On to step 5:
244 divided by 29 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 888.0
If we take 232 away from 244, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 29

Step 6:
29 can be fit into 121 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8884.0
If we take 116 away from 121, we end up 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.

Step 7:
The number 29 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8884.1
Subtract 29 from 50 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
29 can be fit into 210 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8884.17
Deduct 203 from 210 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 29 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8884.172
If we take 58 away from 70, we end up 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 10:
If we divide 120 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8884.1724
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 11:
If we divide 40 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8884.17241
Subtracting 29 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
110 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8884.172413
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 87 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
230 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8884.1724137
Deduct 203 from 230 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
The number 29 fits into 270 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8884.17241379
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us 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.

The final result is 8884.17241379 with a remainder of 9e-09.
