We're dividing 20786779 by 872 
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 20786779.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 872 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 872

Going ahead to step 2:
872 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 207 / 872

Moving on to step 3:
872 can be fit into 207 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 207.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 207 and we're left with 207.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 207, then repeat: 2078 / 872

On to step 4:
2078 divided by 872 is 2 with a remainder of 334.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1744 from 2078 to get 334.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 334, then repeat: 3346 / 872

On to step 5:
When dividing 3346 by 872, we get 3 with a remainder of 730.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 2616 from 3346, we get 730.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 730 and continue with: 7307 / 872

On to step 6:
872 goes into 7307 8 times with a remainder of 331.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 238.0
Subtract 6976 from 7307 to get 331.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 331 and continue: 3317 / 872

Advancing to step 7:
872 can be fit into 3317 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 701.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2383.0
The remainder is 701 after subtracting 2616 from 3317.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 701, then repeat: 7019 / 872

Going ahead to step 8:
7019 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23838.0
If we take 6976 away from 7019, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 872 fits into 430 0 times, leaving a remainder of 430.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23838.0
If we take 0 away from 430, we end up with 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 872 fits into 4300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 812.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23838.04
Subtracting 3488 from 4300 leaves us with 812.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
872 can be fit into 8120 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23838.049
Deduct 7848 from 8120 and we're left with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
872 can be fit into 2720 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23838.0493
Subtract 2616 from 2720 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
872 goes into 1040 1 times with a remainder of 168.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23838.04931
If we take 872 away from 1040, we end up with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1680 by 872, we get 1 with a remainder of 808.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23838.049311
Subtract 872 from 1680 to get 808.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8080, and continue the process.

The final result is 23838.049311 with a remainder of 8.08e-05.
