Let's divide 858988 by 29
We're looking to find how many times 29 goes into 858988.

Going ahead to step 1:
29 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 29

Step 2:
29 can be fit into 85 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 58 from 85 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
29 can be fit into 278 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 261 from 278 to get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 29

Step 4:
The number 29 fits into 179 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 296.0
Deduct 174 from 179 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 29

Step 5:
29 can be fit into 58 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2962.0
Subtracting 58 from 58 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 29

Step 6:
The number 29 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 29620.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
29 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 29620.2
Subtracting 58 from 80 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 29 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29620.27
Subtract 203 from 220 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 170 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 29620.275
Deduct 145 from 170 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
29 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29620.2758
If we take 232 away from 250, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 29, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29620.27586
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 60 by 29, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29620.275862
Subtract 58 from 60 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29620.275862
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
200 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 29620.27586206
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 29620.27586206 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
