We're dividing 279138 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 279138 by 31.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 279 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 279 from 279.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 900.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 138 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 138 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9004.0
If we take 124 away from 138, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9004.4
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9004.45
If we subtract 155 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9004.451
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 10:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9004.4516
Subtract 186 from 190 to 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 11:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9004.45161
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 12:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9004.451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9004.4516129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 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 14:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9004.4516129
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.

The final outcome is 9004.4516129, with a leftover of 1e-08.
