Let's divide 280746 by 31
We want to divide 280746 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 31

On to step 2:
31 goes into 28 0 times with 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 279 from 280.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 90.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 174 / 31

On to step 5:
174 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 905.0
Subtracting 155 from 174 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 196 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 196 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9056.0
Subtract 186 from 196 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9056.3
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9056.32
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9056.322
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 9056.322 with a remainder of 0.0018.
