Let's divide 648872 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 648872.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 64 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 62 from 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 28 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 31

On to step 4:
31 goes into 288 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
If we subtract 279 from 288, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 97 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2093.0
If we subtract 93 from 97, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 31

Step 6:
When dividing 42 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20931.0
If we subtract 31 from 42, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20931.3
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
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: 20931.35
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us with 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 9:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20931.354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20931.3548
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20931.35483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we 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:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20931.354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20931.3548387
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20931.3548387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 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 quotient of the division is 20931.3548387, and the remainder is 3e-08.
