We look at the division of 229588 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 229588.

Step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 can be fit into 229 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 217 from 229 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 31

On to step 4:
125 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 124 from 125.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 740.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 188 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7406.0
Subtract 186 from 188 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7406.0
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 8:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7406.06
If we subtract 186 from 200, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7406.064
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7406.0645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7406.06451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7406.064516
If we take 186 away from 190, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7406.0645161
Subtracting 31 from 40 leaves us with 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 14:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7406.06451612
If we take 62 away from 90, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7406.06451612, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
