Let's divide 708887 by 31
We want to divide 708887 by 31.

Moving 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 (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 31

Step 2:
When dividing 70 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 70, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
88 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 62 from 88 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 268 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.0
Subtract 248 from 268 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 208 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2286.0
Deduct 186 from 208 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 31

Step 6:
When dividing 227 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22867.0
Subtracting 217 from 227 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22867.3
Subtract 93 from 100 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22867.32
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22867.322
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22867.322 with a remaining 0.0018.
