659248 divided by 31 
We want to divide 659248 by 31.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 65, we get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 39 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 31 from 39 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 31

On to step 4:
82 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 62 from 82 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 204 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2126.0
If we subtract 186 from 204, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 188 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21266.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 186 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21266.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21266.06
If we subtract 186 from 200, we 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:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21266.064
If we take 124 away from 140, we end up with 16.
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:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21266.0645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21266.06451
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:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21266.064516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21266.0645161
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21266.06451612
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21266.06451612 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
