255464 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 255464 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 255 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 248 from 255 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 74 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 62 from 74 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 31

On to step 5:
126 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 824.0
If we take 124 away from 126, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 31

On to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8240.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8240.7
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:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8240.77
If we subtract 217 from 230, we 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 8240.77 and a remainder of 0.013.
