We're dividing 22712431 by 431 
Let's see how many times 431 fits into 22712431.

Step 1:
431 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 431

Step 2:
431 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 431

Moving on to step 3:
431 can be fit into 227 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 227 and we're left with 227.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 227, then carry on: 2271 / 431

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2271 by 431, we get 5 with a remainder of 116.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2155 away from 2271, we end up with 116.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 116 and continue: 1162 / 431

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 431 fits into 1162 2 times, leaving a remainder of 300.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 300 after subtracting 862 from 1162.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 300, then carry on: 3004 / 431

On to step 6:
The number 431 fits into 3004 6 times, leaving a remainder of 418.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 526.0
Deduct 2586 from 3004 and we're left with 418.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 418, then repeat: 4183 / 431

Moving on to step 7:
The number 431 fits into 4183 9 times, leaving a remainder of 304.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5269.0
If we subtract 3879 from 4183, we get 304.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 304 and repeat the process: 3041 / 431

Let's proceed to step 8:
431 goes into 3041 7 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 52697.0
Subtract 3017 from 3041 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
431 can be fit into 240 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52697.0
Subtracting 0 from 240 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 2400 by 431, we get 5 with a remainder of 245.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52697.05
The remainder is 245 after subtracting 2155 from 2400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
431 goes into 2450 5 times with a remainder of 295.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52697.055
Subtracting 2155 from 2450 leaves us with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 52697.055 with a balance of 0.0295.
