<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2900, we need to group it as 29 and 00.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 29. We can say n as ‘5’ because 5 × 5 = 25, which is less than 29. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 5, and after subtracting 29 - 25, the<a>remainder</a>is 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 00, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number 5 + 5 to get 10, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 00, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number 5 + 5 to get 10, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and the quotient. Now we get 10n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 10n × n ≤ 400. Let us consider n as 3, now 10 × 3 × 3 = 90</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 10n × n ≤ 400. Let us consider n as 3, now 10 × 3 × 3 = 90</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 400 from 90, the difference is 310, and the quotient is 53</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 400 from 90, the difference is 310, and the quotient is 53</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 31000.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 7539 from 31000 we get the result 23461.</p>

<p><strong>Step 11:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there is no decimal value, continue till the remainder is zero.</p>
