888741 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 888741 by 31.

Step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 62 from 88.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 268 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 248 from 268, we get 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
207 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we subtract 186 from 207, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 214 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2866.0
If we take 186 away from 214, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 goes into 281 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28669.0
If we subtract 279 from 281, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28669.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28669.06
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 28669.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28669.0645
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 28669.06451
Subtract 31 from 50 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28669.064516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28669.0645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28669.06451612
If we take 62 away from 90, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 28669.06451612, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
