537982 ÷ 29 
We're looking to find how many times 29 goes into 537982.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 29

On to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 29 from 53 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 29

Going ahead to step 3:
247 divided by 29 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 232 from 247.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 29

Moving on to step 4:
29 can be fit into 159 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 185.0
Deduct 145 from 159 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
29 can be fit into 148 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1855.0
Deduct 145 from 148 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 32 by 29, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18551.0
If we take 29 away from 32, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 29 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18551.1
Subtract 29 from 30 to get 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 8:
If we divide 10 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18551.1
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:
29 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18551.103
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 87 from 100.
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:
If we divide 130 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18551.1034
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:
If we divide 140 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18551.10344
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.

Our division results in 18551.10344 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
