Let's divide 260024 by 31
Our goal is to divide 260024 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 31

On to step 3:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 83.0
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 272 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 838.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 248 from 272.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
244 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8387.0
Subtracting 217 from 244 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8387.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8387.87
Subtract 217 from 220 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8387.87
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8387.8709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8387.87096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8387.870967
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
230 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8387.8709677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
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 8387.8709677 with a remaining 1.3e-07.
