255088 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 255088 by 31.

Step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 25 0 times with 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 255 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 248 from 255 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 88 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 822.0
If we subtract 62 from 88, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 31

Step 6:
268 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8228.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 248 from 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8228.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8228.64
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8228.645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8228.6451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left with 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 11:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8228.64516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8228.645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8228.6451612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8228.64516129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8228.64516129 with a balance of 1e-09.
