23440 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 23440.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times 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.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 31

On to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 234 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 217 from 234 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 174 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 155 from 174 to get 19.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 190 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 756.0
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.

On to step 6:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 756.1
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 756.12
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 756.129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 756.129
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 756.12903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 756.129032
If we subtract 62 from 70, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 756.1290322
If we take 62 away from 80, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 756.1290322 with a balance of 1.8e-07.
