859463 divided by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 859463 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 31

Step 2:
When dividing 85 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 85 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 239 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 217 away from 239, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 224 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277.0
If we take 217 away from 224, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 76 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2772.0
Subtract 62 from 76 to get 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 goes into 143 4 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27724.0
Subtract 124 from 143 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27724.6
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 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 8:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27724.61
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.

Step 9:
31 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27724.612
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.

Advancing to step 10:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27724.6129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27724.6129
Subtract 0 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27724.612903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27724.6129032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27724.61290322
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 27724.61290322 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
