Let's divide 589982 by 20
We're looking to find how many times 20 goes into 589982.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 20 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 20

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 20, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 40 from 58.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 20

On to step 3:
If we divide 189 by 20, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 180 from 189 to get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 20

Let's proceed to step 4:
99 divided by 20 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 294.0
Subtract 80 from 99 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 20

Advancing to step 5:
The number 20 fits into 198 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2949.0
Deduct 180 from 198 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 20

Advancing to step 6:
20 goes into 182 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29499.0
Subtracting 180 from 182 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 20, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29499.1
Deduct 20 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 20, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29499.1
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
20 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 29499.1
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Our division results in 29499.1 with a remaining 0.0.
