Let's divide 87555 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 87555.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 62 from 87 to get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 255 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 248 from 255.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 31

On to step 4:
75 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282.0
Subtract 62 from 75 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 135 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 135 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2824.0
If we subtract 124 from 135, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2824.3
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2824.35
Deduct 155 from 170 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2824.354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2824.3548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2824.35483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2824.354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2824.3548387
Subtract 217 from 220 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2824.3548387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2824.3548387 with a balance of 3e-08.
