20972837 ÷ 897 
Our goal is to divide 20972837 by 897.

Step 1:
2 divided by 897 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 897

When dividing 20 by 897, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 897

Advancing to step 3:
897 can be fit into 209 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 209.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 209, we end up with 209.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 209, then repeat: 2097 / 897

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2097 by 897, we get 2 and a remainder of 303.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1794 from 2097 leaves us with 303.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 303 and continue: 3032 / 897

Step 5:
The number 897 fits into 3032 3 times, leaving a remainder of 341.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 2691 from 3032 leaves us with 341.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 341, then repeat: 3418 / 897

Step 6:
3418 divided by 897 is 3 with a remainder of 727.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 233.0
Subtracting 2691 from 3418 leaves us with 727.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 727, then repeat: 7273 / 897

Let's proceed to step 7:
897 goes into 7273 8 times with a remainder of 97.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2338.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 7176 from 7273.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 977 / 897

Step 8:
897 goes into 977 1 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23381.0
If we take 897 away from 977, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
897 can be fit into 800 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 800.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23381.0
If we take 0 away from 800, we end up with 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
897 goes into 8000 8 times with a remainder of 824.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23381.08
Subtract 7176 from 8000 to get 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 8240 by 897, we get 9 with a remainder of 167.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23381.089
Subtract 8073 from 8240 to get 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Step 12:
897 goes into 1670 1 times with a remainder of 773.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23381.0891
If we take 897 away from 1670, we end up with 773.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7730, and continue the process.

Step 13:
897 goes into 7730 8 times with a remainder of 554.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23381.08918
Subtract 7176 from 7730 to get 554.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
5540 divided by 897 is 6 with a remainder of 158.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23381.089186
If we take 5382 away from 5540, we end up with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 1580 by 897, we get 1 and a remainder of 683.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23381.0891861
If we subtract 897 from 1580, we get 683.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 897 fits into 6830 7 times, leaving a remainder of 551.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23381.08918617
Subtracting 6279 from 6830 leaves us with 551.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 23381.08918617 with a balance of 5.51e-07.
