238097 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 238097.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 217 from 238 to get 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
249 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 768.0
Subtracting 248 from 249 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7680.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7680.5
Deduct 155 from 170 and we're left 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 8:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7680.54
Subtract 124 from 150 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7680.548
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7680.5483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7680.54838
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 12:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7680.548387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7680.548387
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.

On to step 14:
31 goes into 300 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7680.54838709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7680.54838709 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
