Let's divide 20729 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 20729.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 85

On to step 2:
85 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 207 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 207 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 372 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 340 away from 372, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 329 3 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243.0
If we subtract 255 from 329, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
740 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 60.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243.8
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 680 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243.87
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 243.87
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 243.8705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243.87058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243.870588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 243.870588 with a remainder of 2e-06.
