We're dividing 87237 by 31 
We want to divide 87237 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 62 from 87.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 252 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 248 from 252 to get 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 43 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281.0
If we subtract 31 from 43, we get 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 127 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2814.0
If we subtract 124 from 127, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2814.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2814.09
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2814.096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2814.0967
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 10:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2814.09677
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.

The final result is 2814.09677 with a remainder of 1.3e-05.
