We look at the division of 897302 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 897302 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
89 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 62 from 89 to get 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 31

Step 3:
31 goes into 277 8 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 248 from 277, we get 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 can be fit into 293 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 289.0
If we subtract 279 from 293, we get 14.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 140 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2894.0
If we take 124 away from 140, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
162 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28945.0
If we take 155 away from 162, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28945.2
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28945.22
Subtract 62 from 80 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.

Our division results in 28945.22 with a remaining 0.018.
