We look at the division of 20742942 by 769 
We want to figure out the number of times 20742942 can be divided by 769.

On to step 1:
The number 769 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 769

Moving on to step 2:
769 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 769

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 207 by 769, we get 0 and a remainder of 207.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 207 after subtracting 0 from 207.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 207 and continue: 2074 / 769

Moving on to step 4:
2074 divided by 769 is 2 with a remainder of 536.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 536 after subtracting 1538 from 2074.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 536, then repeat: 5362 / 769

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 769 fits into 5362 6 times, leaving a remainder of 748.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 748 after subtracting 4614 from 5362.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 748 and continue with: 7489 / 769

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 7489 by 769, we get 9 with a remainder of 568.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtracting 6921 from 7489 leaves us with 568.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 568 and continue: 5684 / 769

Advancing to step 7:
5684 divided by 769 is 7 with a remainder of 301.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2697.0
Subtract 5383 from 5684 to get 301.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 301, then carry on: 3012 / 769

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 3012 by 769, we get 3 and a remainder of 705.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26973.0
If we take 2307 away from 3012, we end up with 705.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7050, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
769 goes into 7050 9 times with a remainder of 129.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26973.9
The remainder is 129 after subtracting 6921 from 7050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 769 fits into 1290 1 times, leaving a remainder of 521.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26973.91
If we subtract 769 from 1290, we get 521.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 769 fits into 5210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 596.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26973.916
If we subtract 4614 from 5210, we get 596.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
5960 divided by 769 is 7 with a remainder of 577.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26973.9167
If we subtract 5383 from 5960, we get 577.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
5770 divided by 769 is 7 with a remainder of 387.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26973.91677
Subtract 5383 from 5770 to get 387.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3870, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 26973.91677 with a balance of 0.000387.
