740437 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 740437 by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 62 from 74.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 93 from 120 to get 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 274 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 238.0
Deduct 248 from 274 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 263 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2388.0
If we take 248 away from 263, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 can be fit into 157 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23885.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 155 from 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23885.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23885.06
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23885.064
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23885.0645
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23885.06451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23885.064516
Deduct 186 from 190 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23885.0645161
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23885.06451612
Subtracting 62 from 90 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 23885.06451612, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
