We're dividing 20718929 by 85 
We want to divide 20718929 by 85.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 85

Step 2:
20 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 85

On to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 207 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 207 and we're left with 37.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 371 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 371 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 340 from 371 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 318 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 255 from 318.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 639 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
639 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2437.0
Subtract 595 from 639 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 85

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 442 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24375.0
Subtracting 425 from 442 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 85

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243752.0
If we take 170 away from 179, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 90 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243752.1
If we subtract 85 from 90, we get 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 10:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243752.1
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
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: 243752.105
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243752.1058
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243752.10588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 243752.10588 with a balance of 2e-05.
