Let's divide 87609862 by 31
Our goal is to divide 87609862 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 87, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
256 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 248 from 256 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282.0
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 can be fit into 189 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2826.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 186 from 189.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
38 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28261.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 31 from 38.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 31

On to step 7:
76 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282612.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 62 from 76.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 31

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 142 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2826124.0
If we subtract 124 from 142, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
180 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2826124.5
If we take 155 away from 180, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2826124.58
Deduct 248 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2826124.58
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2826124.5806
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2826124.58064
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2826124.580645
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2826124.5806451
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.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2826124.58064516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 2826124.58064516 with a remaining 4e-09.
