Let's divide 72552 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 72552 can be divided by 31.

Step 1:
31 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 72 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 62 from 72 to get 10.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 105 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 105 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 93 from 105, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 125 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 234.0
Subtract 124 from 125 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2340.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2340.3
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2340.38
If we subtract 248 from 270, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2340.387
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2340.387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2340.38709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2340.387096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2340.3870967
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2340.38709677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2340.38709677 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
