We're dividing 257737 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 257737.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 257 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 248 from 257, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 97 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 93 from 97.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 831.0
If we subtract 31 from 43, we get 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 can be fit into 127 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8314.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 124 from 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8314.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8314.09
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 210 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8314.096
Subtract 186 from 210 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8314.0967
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8314.09677
If we subtract 217 from 230, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 8314.09677 with a remainder of 1.3e-05.
