We divide 2638559 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 2638559 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 263 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 248 away from 263, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 158 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 155 from 158 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 35 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 851.0
Subtracting 31 from 35 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
45 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8511.0
If we subtract 31 from 45, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 31

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 149 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85114.0
If we take 124 away from 149, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85114.8
Subtract 248 from 250 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85114.8
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85114.806
Deduct 186 from 200 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85114.8064
If we subtract 124 from 140, we 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 12:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85114.80645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85114.806451
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85114.8064516
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.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85114.80645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 85114.80645161 with a remaining 9e-09.
