We're dividing 253285 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 253285 by 31.

Step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
253 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 248 from 253 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 52 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 31 from 52.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 218 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 817.0
If we take 217 away from 218, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 15 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8170.0
Deduct 0 from 15 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 7:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8170.4
If we subtract 124 from 150, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8170.48
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.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8170.483
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 270 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8170.4838
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.

Advancing to step 11:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8170.48387
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.

On to step 12:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8170.48387
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.

Advancing to step 13:
31 goes into 300 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8170.4838709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8170.48387096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8170.48387096 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
