1. Shift the decimals of both 20.86 and 0.2 to the right by 1 decimal place. (This is needed to convert 0.2 to 2, since long division must divide by a whole number.)

208.6÷2


2. Use the algorithm method.

1 0 4 . 3
————————
2 | 2 0 8 . 6
2
————————
0 8 .
8 .
————————
6

3. Therefore, 20.86/0.2 = 104.3



Your answer is: 104.3



Hope this helped :p
