398497 ÷ 29 
Our goal is to divide 398497 by 29.

On to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 29

Going ahead to step 2:
29 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 29 from 39 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 29

Moving on to step 3:
29 can be fit into 108 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 87 from 108 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
214 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 203 from 214 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 29

Advancing to step 5:
29 goes into 119 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1374.0
Subtracting 116 from 119 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 29

Step 6:
The number 29 fits into 37 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13741.0
If we take 29 away from 37, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
80 divided by 29 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13741.2
Subtract 58 from 80 to get 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.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13741.27
If we take 203 away from 220, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
170 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13741.275
If we subtract 145 from 170, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
29 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13741.2758
If we subtract 232 from 250, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 29, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13741.27586
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 29 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13741.275862
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
29 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13741.275862
Subtract 0 from 20 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 14:
When dividing 200 by 29, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13741.27586206
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.

Our division results in 13741.27586206 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
