We divide 259201 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 259201 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 31

Step 2:
If we divide 25 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 goes into 259 8 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 248 away from 259, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 112 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 93 from 112.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 190 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 836.0
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 41 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8361.0
Subtracting 31 from 41 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8361.3
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8361.32
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8361.322
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 62 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8361.322, with a leftover of 0.0018.
