We're dividing 656539 by 31 
We want to divide 656539 by 31.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 65 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 31

On to step 3:
When dividing 36 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 31 from 36, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 55 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 31 from 55 to get 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 31

Step 5:
243 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2117.0
Subtract 217 from 243 to get 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 269 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21178.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 248 from 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21178.6
Subtract 186 from 210 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.

On to step 8:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21178.67
Subtract 217 from 240 to 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21178.677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left 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 21178.677 with a balance of 0.0013.
