We're dividing 31088122 by 872 
Our goal is to divide 31088122 by 872.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 872

Step 2:
The number 872 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 310 / 872

On to step 3:
872 goes into 310 0 times with a remainder of 310.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 310 leaves us with 310.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 310 and continue: 3108 / 872

Moving on to step 4:
872 can be fit into 3108 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2616 from 3108 and we're left with 492.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 492, then repeat: 4928 / 872

Moving on to step 5:
872 goes into 4928 5 times with a remainder of 568.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 4360 from 4928 and we're left with 568.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 568 and repeat the process: 5681 / 872

Moving on to step 6:
5681 divided by 872 is 6 with a remainder of 449.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 356.0
If we subtract 5232 from 5681, we get 449.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 449 and repeat the process: 4492 / 872

Step 7:
4492 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 132.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3565.0
Subtracting 4360 from 4492 leaves us with 132.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 132 and continue with: 1322 / 872

Step 8:
If we divide 1322 by 872, we get 1 and a remainder of 450.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35651.0
Deduct 872 from 1322 and we're left with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
4500 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 140.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35651.5
Subtract 4360 from 4500 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
872 can be fit into 1400 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 528.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35651.51
If we take 872 away from 1400, we end up with 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 5280 by 872, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35651.516
Subtracting 5232 from 5280 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
480 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 480.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35651.516
Subtracting 0 from 480 leaves us with 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
872 can be fit into 4800 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 440.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35651.51605
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 4360 from 4800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 4400 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35651.516055
Subtract 4360 from 4400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 35651.516055 with a remainder of 4e-06.
