We divide 216727 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 216727.

Step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 31

On to step 2:
31 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 216 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 186 from 216.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 can be fit into 307 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 279 from 307.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 282 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 699.0
Deduct 279 from 282 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
37 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6991.0
Deduct 31 from 37 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6991.1
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 290 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6991.19
Subtracting 279 from 290 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6991.193
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6991.1935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6991.19354
Subtracting 124 from 150 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6991.193548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6991.1935483
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 14:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6991.19354838
Subtract 248 from 270 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6991.19354838 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
