138842 divided by 29 
We're looking to find how many times 29 goes into 138842.

Step 1:
29 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
13 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
29 can be fit into 138 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 116 from 138 to get 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 29

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 228 by 29, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 203 from 228 to get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 29

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 254 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 478.0
Subtract 232 from 254 to get 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 29

Step 6:
222 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4787.0
Deduct 203 from 222 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 29 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4787.6
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 174 from 190.
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 8:
29 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4787.65
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 9:
The number 29 fits into 150 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4787.655
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 145 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4787.655 with a balance of 0.0005.
