227/20=11.35... can someone show me this in long division please

It's tough drawing this out.

Make a divsion house, put the divisor, 20 to the left outside the house and the dividend inside the house. Your quotient, or answe, will be solved on top.
______
20) 227

Can a multiple of 20 be derived from 2 ? No, so add the next digit
Can a multiple of 20 found in 22 ? Yes. Write 1 above the middle 2 and write 20 (1 x 20) under the 22
Write the subtraction symbol and subtract
__1___
20) 227
-20

2

Now 'bring down' the next digit, 7. Draw an arrow straight down and write another 7 next to the remaining 2

__1___
20) 227

27

continue writing how many times 20 can divide the remainder until you get zero when subtracting.

__11___
20) 227
-20|

27
-20

7
At this point, just put in the decimal point directly above where it appears in the dividend.

__11.___
20) 227.0

70
I can find three 20s go into 70. 3 x 20 = 60

20) 227.00

100
20 goes into 100 exactly 5 times. I get a remainder of zero and I'm done!
You can double check your multiplication guesses by making sure that the remainder is always smaller than the divisor. If it is, that is the correct part of the quotient.
