Let's divide 262900 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 262900.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
26 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 262 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 248 from 262.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 149 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtract 124 from 149 to get 25.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 250 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 848.0
If we subtract 248 from 250, we get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
20 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8480.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8480.6
If we subtract 186 from 200, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8480.64
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8480.645
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8480.6451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8480.64516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8480.645161
Subtracting 31 from 40 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8480.6451612
If we take 62 away from 90, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8480.64516129
Subtract 279 from 280 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8480.64516129 with a remaining 1e-09.
