Let's divide 283851 by 31
Our goal is to divide 283851 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
283 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 279 from 283 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we subtract 31 from 48, we get 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 31

On to step 5:
175 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 915.0
If we subtract 155 from 175, we get 20.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 201 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 201 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9156.0
Subtracting 186 from 201 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 7:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
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 8:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.48
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.

Advancing to step 9:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9156.483
Subtract 93 from 120 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.4838
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.

Moving on to step 11:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9156.48387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9156.48387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9156.4838709
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.48387096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 9156.48387096 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
