We divide 852432 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 852432.

Step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 85 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 232 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 217 from 232 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 154 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 154 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 274.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 124 from 154.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 303 / 31

Step 5:
The number 31 fits into 303 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2749.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 279 from 303.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 can be fit into 242 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27497.0
Subtracting 217 from 242 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27497.8
Deduct 248 from 250 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27497.8
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27497.806
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.

On to step 10:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27497.8064
If we take 124 away from 140, we end up 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 11:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27497.80645
If we subtract 155 from 160, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27497.806451
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27497.8064516
If we take 186 away from 190, we end up 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 27497.80645161
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up 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.

The final result is 27497.80645161 with a remainder of 9e-09.
