852496 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 852496.

On to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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:
When dividing 232 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 217 from 232 to get 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 31

Going ahead 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
Subtracting 124 from 154 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 309 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 309 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2749.0
Deduct 279 from 309 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 306 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 goes into 306 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27499.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 279 from 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27499.8
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27499.87
If we subtract 217 from 220, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27499.87
Subtract 0 from 30 to 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:
When dividing 300 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27499.8709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27499.87096
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27499.870967
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: 27499.8709677
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.

The final result is 27499.8709677 with a remainder of 1.3e-07.
