Let's divide 217966 by 20
We want to divide 217966 by 20.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 20 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 20

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 20, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 20

On to step 3:
20 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 20

Let's proceed to step 4:
20 goes into 179 8 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
Deduct 160 from 179 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 20

Going ahead to step 5:
20 goes into 196 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1089.0
Deduct 180 from 196 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 20

Step 6:
20 goes into 166 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10898.0
Subtract 160 from 166 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
20 can be fit into 60 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10898.3
Deduct 60 from 60 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 20 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10898.3
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 20 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10898.3
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.

After the division, we end up with 10898.3 and a remainder of 0.0.
