We're dividing 708923 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 708923 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 70 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 62 from 88 to get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
269 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 21.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we subtract 248 from 269, we get 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 31

Step 5:
212 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2286.0
If we take 186 away from 212, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 263 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 263 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22868.0
Subtracting 248 from 263 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.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22868.4
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22868.48
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22868.483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22868.4838
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22868.48387
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22868.48387
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22868.4838709
If we subtract 279 from 300, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22868.48387096
Subtract 186 from 210 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 22868.48387096, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
