We look at the division of 298979 by 20 
We want to figure out the number of times 298979 can be divided by 20.

Let's proceed to step 1:
20 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 20

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 20, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 20 from 29 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 20

Step 3:
The number 20 fits into 98 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 20

Step 4:
20 can be fit into 189 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtracting 180 from 189 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 20

Let's proceed to step 5:
97 divided by 20 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1494.0
If we take 80 away from 97, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 20

Going ahead to step 6:
179 divided by 20 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14948.0
Subtracting 160 from 179 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 7:
The number 20 fits into 190 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14948.9
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 180 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 20, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14948.95
If we take 100 away from 100, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 20, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14948.95
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 20 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14948.95
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

The final result is 14948.95 with a remainder of 0.0.
