We divide 277888 by 20
We want to figure out the number of times 277888 can be divided by 20.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 20

Let's proceed to step 2:
20 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 20 from 27 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 20

Let's proceed to step 3:
20 goes into 77 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 60 from 77 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 20

On to step 4:
The number 20 fits into 178 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we subtract 160 from 178, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 20

Step 5:
If we divide 188 by 20, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1389.0
Subtracting 180 from 188 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 20

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 88 by 20, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13894.0
If we subtract 80 from 88, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 20 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13894.4
Subtract 80 from 80 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
20 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13894.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
20 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13894.4
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13894.4 with a balance of 0.0.
