854617 divided by 20 
We want to divide 854617 by 20.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 20 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 20

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 20, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 80 from 85 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 20

Step 3:
20 goes into 54 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 40 from 54 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 20

Step 4:
The number 20 fits into 146 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427.0
Deduct 140 from 146 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 20

On to step 5:
20 can be fit into 61 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4273.0
Subtract 60 from 61 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 20

On to step 6:
20 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42730.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 20, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42730.8
Subtracting 160 from 170 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
100 divided by 20 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42730.85
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 20, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42730.85
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
20 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42730.85
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.

The final outcome is 42730.85, with a leftover of 0.0.
