243771 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 243771.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 243 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
243 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 217 from 243 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 267 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 267 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we take 248 away from 267, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 goes into 197 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 786.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 186 from 197.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 111 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7863.0
Subtract 93 from 111 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7863.5
Deduct 155 from 180 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
250 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7863.58
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 248 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7863.58
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7863.5806
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7863.58064
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7863.580645
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7863.5806451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7863.58064516
Deduct 186 from 190 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7863.58064516, and the remainder is 4e-09.
