278222 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 278222.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 248 from 278.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 302 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 302 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 279 from 302, we get 23.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 232 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 897.0
Subtract 217 from 232 to get 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 31

On to step 6:
152 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8974.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 124 from 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8974.9
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.

On to step 8:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8974.9
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8974.903
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8974.9032
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 80 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8974.90322
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 outcome is 8974.90322, with a leftover of 1.8e-05.
