280468 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 280468 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 14 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 146 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 904.0
Deduct 124 from 146 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 228 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9047.0
Subtract 217 from 228 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9047.3
If we take 93 away from 110, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9047.35
If we take 155 away from 170, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9047.354
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9047.3548
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 11:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9047.35483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9047.354838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9047.3548387
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9047.3548387
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9047.3548387 with a remaining 3e-08.
