Let's divide 228596 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 228596.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 31

On to step 3:
228 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 217 from 228.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 115 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 115 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 93 from 115.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 229 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.0
Deduct 217 from 229 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 126 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7374.0
Subtracting 124 from 126 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7374.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7374.06
Deduct 186 from 200 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7374.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7374.0645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7374.06451
If we take 31 away from 50, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7374.064516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7374.0645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7374.06451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7374.06451612 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
