874263 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 874263 by 31.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 62 away from 87, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 254 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 248 from 254, we get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 62 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 282.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 62 from 62.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2820.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 can be fit into 63 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 28202.0
Subtracting 62 from 63 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28202.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28202.03
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28202.032
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28202.0322
Subtract 62 from 80 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 28202.0322 with a balance of 0.00018.
