21846 divided by 31 
Our goal is to divide 21846 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times 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.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 31

On to step 2:
21 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 goes into 218 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 217 from 218, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 31

On to step 5:
31 goes into 146 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 704.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 124 from 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 31 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 704.7
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us 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 7:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 704.7
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 704.709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 704.7096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 704.70967
Deduct 217 from 240 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 704.709677
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 704.709677 and a remainder of 1.3e-06.
