We're dividing 801491 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 801491.

Step 1:
31 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 can be fit into 181 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 155 from 181 to get 26.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 264 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 264 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 258.0
If we subtract 248 from 264, we get 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 169 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2585.0
Subtract 155 from 169 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 141 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 25854.0
Deduct 124 from 141 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25854.5
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25854.54
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25854.548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25854.5483
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25854.54838
Subtract 248 from 270 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25854.548387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up 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 13:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 25854.548387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25854.54838709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 25854.54838709 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
