We divide 272374 by 20
We want to divide 272374 by 20.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 20

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 20 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 20 from 27 to get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 20

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 72 by 20, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 60 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 20

Step 4:
When dividing 123 by 20, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 136.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 120 from 123.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 20

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 20, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1361.0
Subtracting 20 from 37 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 174 / 20

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 20 fits into 174 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13618.0
If we subtract 160 from 174, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 140 by 20, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13618.7
If we take 140 away from 140, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 20 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13618.7
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13618.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 13618.7, and the remainder is 0.0.
