We look at the division of 284746 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 284746 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 284 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 279 from 284 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 57 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
Deduct 31 from 57 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 can be fit into 264 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 918.0
If we subtract 248 from 264, we get 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 166 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9185.0
Deduct 155 from 166 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9185.3
Subtract 93 from 110 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9185.35
If we subtract 155 from 170, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9185.354
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9185.3548
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9185.35483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9185.354838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9185.3548387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9185.3548387
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9185.3548387, and the remainder is 3e-08.
