We divide 252374 by 31
We want to divide 252374 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 252 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 248 from 252 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
43 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 31 from 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 127 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 814.0
Subtracting 124 from 127 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 31

On to step 6:
34 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8141.0
Deduct 31 from 34 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8141.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 300 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8141.09
If we subtract 279 from 300, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8141.096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8141.0967
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 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 11:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8141.09677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
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 8141.09677 and a remainder of 1.3e-05.
