We divide 704137 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 704137.

Step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 62 away from 70, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 84 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 62 from 84 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 221 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 227.0
Subtracting 217 from 221 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2271.0
Deduct 31 from 43 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 127 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22714.0
Subtracting 124 from 127 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22714.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22714.09
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22714.096
Subtract 186 from 210 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22714.0967
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22714.09677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22714.09677 with a remaining 1.3e-05.
