729476 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 729476 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 72 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 109 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 93 from 109 to get 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 31

Step 4:
31 goes into 164 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 235.0
Deduct 155 from 164 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
97 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2353.0
Subtract 93 from 97 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23531.0
Subtract 31 from 46 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23531.4
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23531.48
Subtract 248 from 260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23531.483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23531.4838
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 23531.48387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23531.48387
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
300 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23531.4838709
Subtracting 279 from 300 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23531.48387096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 23531.48387096 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
