Let's divide 142526 by 29
We want to divide 142526 by 29.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 29

Step 2:
14 divided by 29 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
The number 29 fits into 142 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 116 from 142.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 265 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 265 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 261 from 265, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
29 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 29 from 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
The number 29 fits into 136 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4914.0
Subtract 116 from 136 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
200 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4914.6
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4914.68
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 232 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4914.689
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 190 by 29, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4914.6896
Subtract 174 from 190 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4914.68965
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 145 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
150 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4914.689655
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.

The final outcome is 4914.689655, with a leftover of 5e-07.
