257455 divided by 31 
We want to divide 257455 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 257 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 248 from 257 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 94 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 93 from 94.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 31

On to step 5:
15 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 830.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
155 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8305.0
If we subtract 155 from 155, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8305.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8305.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8305.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
