Let's divide 263508 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 263508.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 263 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 248 from 263 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 can be fit into 155 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 155 from 155 to get 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 850.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 8 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8500.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8500.2
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8500.25
Deduct 155 from 180 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8500.258
Subtracting 248 from 250 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8500.258
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 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 11:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8500.25806
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 186 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8500.258064
If we subtract 124 from 140, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8500.2580645
If we subtract 155 from 160, we 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.

Step 14:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8500.25806451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8500.25806451 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
