We look at the division of 872927 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 872927 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 62 from 87 to get 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 252 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 248 from 252 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 31 from 49.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 182 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2815.0
If we take 155 away from 182, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 31

On to step 6:
31 goes into 277 8 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28158.0
If we subtract 248 from 277, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28158.9
If we take 279 away from 290, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28158.93
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28158.935
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28158.9354
Subtract 124 from 150 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28158.93548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 28158.935483
Subtracting 93 from 120 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.

Step 13:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28158.9354838
If we subtract 248 from 270, we get 22.
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 14:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28158.93548387
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.

After the division, we end up with 28158.93548387 and a remainder of 3e-09.
