Let's divide 20597 by 76
Let's see how many times 76 fits into 20597.

Advancing to step 1:
76 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 76

On to step 2:
20 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 76

Moving on to step 3:
205 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 53.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 152 from 205, we get 53.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 539 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 539 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 532 from 539 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 76

Step 5:
77 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 271.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 76 from 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
10 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 271.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
100 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 271.01
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
240 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 271.013
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 76, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 271.0131
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 76 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
440 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 271.01315
If we take 380 away from 440, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
600 divided by 76 is 7 with a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271.013157
If we take 532 away from 600, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 12:
76 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 271.0131578
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 608 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 271.01315789
Subtract 684 from 720 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 271.01315789 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
