20898 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 20898 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 31

Step 3:
31 can be fit into 208 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 186 away from 208, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
229 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 67.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 217 from 229.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 128 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 674.0
If we take 124 away from 128, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 674.1
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 674.12
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 674.129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 674.129
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
31 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 674.12903
Subtract 93 from 100 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 674.129032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 674.1290322
If we take 62 away from 80, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 674.1290322, and the remainder is 1.8e-07.
