We look at the division of 722874 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 722874 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 72 2 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 72 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 102 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 93 from 102 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 98 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 233.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 93 from 98.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 31

Step 5:
57 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2331.0
Subtract 31 from 57 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 264 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23318.0
Subtract 248 from 264 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
160 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23318.5
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23318.51
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23318.516
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 10:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23318.5161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23318.51612
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23318.516129
Subtract 279 from 280 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23318.516129
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
31 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23318.51612903
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23318.51612903 and a remainder of 7e-09.
