247868 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 247868 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 247 7 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 217 from 247, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 can be fit into 308 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we subtract 279 from 308, we get 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 31

On to step 5:
296 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 799.0
Subtract 279 from 296 to get 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
178 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7995.0
If we subtract 155 from 178, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
230 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7995.7
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
31 goes into 130 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7995.74
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 124 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7995.741
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 can be fit into 290 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7995.7419
If we subtract 279 from 290, 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 11:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7995.74193
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7995.741935
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7995.7419354
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.

On to step 14:
260 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7995.74193548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 7995.74193548 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
