We're dividing 273556 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 273556 by 31.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 273 / 31

On to step 3:
31 can be fit into 273 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 248 away from 273, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 255 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 248 from 255 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 75 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 882.0
Deduct 62 from 75 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 136 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8824.0
Subtracting 124 from 136 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 7:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8824.3
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.

On to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8824.38
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8824.387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up 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.

Step 10:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8824.387
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8824.38709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8824.387096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8824.3870967
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8824.38709677
If we take 217 away from 230, we end up 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.

Our division results in 8824.38709677 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
