We look at the division of 718884 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 718884.

Step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times 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.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 71 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 71 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 goes into 98 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 93 from 98.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 231.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 31 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 278 8 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2318.0
If we take 248 away from 278, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 304 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23189.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 279 from 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
250 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23189.8
Subtracting 248 from 250 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23189.8
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23189.806
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23189.8064
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23189.80645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23189.806451
Subtract 31 from 50 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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23189.8064516
If we take 186 away from 190, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23189.80645161
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.

The final result is 23189.80645161 with a remainder of 9e-09.
