71693 divided by 31 
Our goal is to divide 71693 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 71 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 62 from 71.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 can be fit into 96 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 93 from 96 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231.0
If we subtract 31 from 39, we get 8.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 83 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2312.0
Deduct 62 from 83 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2312.6
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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2312.67
If we subtract 217 from 240, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2312.677
If we take 217 away from 230, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2312.677 with a remaining 0.0013.
