We look at the division of 31040 by 69 
We want to figure out the number of times 31040 can be divided by 69.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 69, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 69

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 69 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 310 / 69

Let's proceed to step 3:
310 divided by 69 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 276 away from 310, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 69

On to step 4:
The number 69 fits into 344 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 276 from 344, we get 68.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 680 / 69

Step 5:
If we divide 680 by 69, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449.0
Deduct 621 from 680 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
590 divided by 69 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 449.8
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 552 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 69 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 449.85
Subtracting 345 from 380 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
69 can be fit into 350 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449.855
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 345 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 449.855, with a leftover of 0.0005.
