We divide 28996 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 28996 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 289 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 279 from 289 to get 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 109 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 93 from 109.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 166 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 935.0
If we subtract 155 from 166, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 935.3
Deduct 93 from 110 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 935.35
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 935.354
Subtracting 124 from 150 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 935.3548
Subtracting 248 from 260 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 935.35483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 935.354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 935.3548387
Subtract 217 from 220 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 935.3548387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 935.3548387, with a leftover of 3e-08.
