230279 divided by 31 
We want to divide 230279 by 31.

Advancing to 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
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: 7.0
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 132 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 124 from 132 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 742.0
If we subtract 62 from 87, we get 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
259 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7428.0
Deduct 248 from 259 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7428.3
Deduct 93 from 110 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7428.35
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7428.354
Subtract 124 from 150 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
260 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7428.3548
Subtract 248 from 260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7428.35483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 12:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7428.354838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7428.3548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7428.3548387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 7428.3548387 and a remainder of 3e-08.
