Let's divide 712898 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 712898.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 71 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
92 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 62 from 92 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 308 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 229.0
Subtracting 279 from 308 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
299 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2299.0
Subtract 279 from 299 to get 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 208 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22996.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 186 from 208.
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 7:
The number 31 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22996.7
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 8:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22996.7
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22996.709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
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 10:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22996.7096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22996.70967
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22996.709677
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 22996.709677 with a remainder of 1.3e-06.
