Let's divide 743738 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 743738.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 74 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 123 / 31

On to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 123 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 93 from 123 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 31

On to step 4:
307 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
If we subtract 279 from 307, we get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 31

On to step 5:
When dividing 283 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2399.0
If we subtract 279 from 283, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23991.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 31 from 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 170 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23991.5
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23991.54
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23991.548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 10:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23991.5483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23991.54838
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.

On to step 12:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23991.548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23991.548387
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23991.54838709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 23991.54838709 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
