We divide 279285 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 279285 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 31

Step 2:
27 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 can be fit into 279 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 279 from 279.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 900.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 can be fit into 285 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9009.0
If we subtract 279 from 285, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 60 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9009.1
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9009.19
If we take 279 away from 290, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9009.193
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
31 can be fit into 170 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9009.1935
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9009.19354
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9009.193548
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9009.1935483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9009.19354838
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9009.19354838, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
