Calculation of 0x29

m(x) = 0x11b = 100011011 = x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1
a(x) =   0x29 =  00101001 = x^5 + x^3 + 1

m(x) = (x^3 + x) * a(x) + (1)

Calculation of 0x29^-1 in the finite field GF(2⁸)

00000001 = 00000001 * 100011011 + 00001010 * 101001
00000000 = 00101001 * 100011011 + 100011011 * 101001

a^-1(x) = x^3 + x = 00001010 = 0x0a

The calculation of 0x29^-1 is made with the Extended Euclidean algorithm. Instead of normal division and multiplication you need to use Polynomialdivision and Polynomialmultiplication.
