We divide 272224 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 272224.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 272 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 248 from 272.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
242 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtract 217 from 242 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 252 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 878.0
Deduct 248 from 252 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8781.0
Subtracting 31 from 44 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 31 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8781.4
Subtract 124 from 130 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 60 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8781.41
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 31 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8781.419
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8781.4193
If we subtract 93 from 110, we get 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 11:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8781.41935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8781.419354
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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8781.4193548
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 14:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8781.41935483
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.

Our division results in 8781.41935483 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
