We divide 264671 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 264671.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 264 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 248 from 264 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 31

On to step 4:
31 can be fit into 166 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 155 away from 166, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 117 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 853.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 93 from 117.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 goes into 241 7 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8537.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 217 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8537.7
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8537.77
If we subtract 217 from 230, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8537.77 with a balance of 0.013.
