Let's divide 876446 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 876446 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 87, we get 25.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 256 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 can be fit into 256 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 248 from 256 to get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 84 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 282.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 62 from 84.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 224 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2827.0
If we subtract 217 from 224, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 76 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28272.0
If we take 62 away from 76, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28272.4
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28272.45
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 28272.451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28272.4516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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 11:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28272.45161
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 31 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28272.451612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28272.4516129
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28272.4516129
Subtracting 0 from 10 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.

Our division results in 28272.4516129 with a remaining 1e-08.
