We're dividing 700996 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 700996 by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 70, we get 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 62 from 80 to get 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 189 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 226.0
If we subtract 186 from 189, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2261.0
Subtract 31 from 39 to get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22612.0
If we subtract 62 from 86, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22612.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22612.77
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.

After the division, we end up with 22612.77 and a remainder of 0.013.
