We look at the division of 127231 by 20 
Our goal is to divide 127231 by 20.

Step 1:
20 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 20

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 20

Moving on to step 3:
127 divided by 20 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 120 away from 127, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 20

Going ahead to step 4:
20 goes into 72 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 60 from 72.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 123 / 20

Going ahead to step 5:
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: 636.0
Deduct 120 from 123 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 20

Going ahead to step 6:
20 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6361.0
If we take 20 away from 31, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
20 goes into 110 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6361.5
If we subtract 100 from 110, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6361.55
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 100 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6361.55 and a remainder of 0.0.
