Let's divide 264534 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 264534 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 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 (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 31

Step 3:
31 goes into 264 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 248 from 264.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 165 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 155 from 165 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 103 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 853.0
If we subtract 93 from 103, we get 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 104 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8533.0
If we take 93 away from 104, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
110 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8533.3
Deduct 93 from 110 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.

On to step 8:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8533.35
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8533.354
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 8533.3548
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8533.35483
Subtract 93 from 120 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8533.354838
If we subtract 248 from 270, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8533.3548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8533.3548387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 8533.3548387 with a remainder of 3e-08.
