Let's divide 708946 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 708946.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 62 away from 70, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 62 from 88 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 269 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 248 from 269.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 goes into 214 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2286.0
Deduct 186 from 214 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 286 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 286 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22869.0
If we take 279 away from 286, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22869.2
If we take 62 away from 70, we end up 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22869.22
If we take 62 away from 80, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 22869.22 with a remainder of 0.018.
