Let's divide 227728 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 227728 can be divided by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 31

Step 2:
The number 31 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 goes into 227 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 217 from 227 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 107 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 93 from 107 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 142 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 734.0
Deduct 124 from 142 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 31

Step 6:
When dividing 188 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7346.0
Subtracting 186 from 188 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.

Moving on to step 7:
31 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7346.0
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.

On to step 8:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7346.06
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7346.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7346.0645
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 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 11:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7346.06451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7346.064516
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7346.0645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7346.06451612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7346.06451612 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
