Let's divide 287974 by 20
Our goal is to divide 287974 by 20.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 20

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 20, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 20 from 28 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 20

On to step 3:
If we divide 87 by 20, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 80 from 87 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 20

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 20, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 143.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 60 from 79.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 197 / 20

Step 5:
The number 20 fits into 197 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1439.0
If we subtract 180 from 197, we get 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 20

Advancing to step 6:
20 can be fit into 174 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14398.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 160 from 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 20 fits into 140 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14398.7
Deduct 140 from 140 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 20, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14398.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 20 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14398.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14398.7 with a balance of 0.0.
