We look at the division of 224495 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 224495.

Step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 224 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 217 from 224 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 31

Step 4:
31 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 62 from 74 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 129 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 724.0
If we take 124 away from 129, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
31 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7241.0
Subtract 31 from 55 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7241.7
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7241.77
Subtracting 217 from 230 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7241.77 with a balance of 0.013.
