8452 divided by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 8452 can be divided by 31.

Step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 62 from 84.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 225 / 31

On to step 3:
When dividing 225 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 217 from 225 to get 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 82 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we subtract 62 from 82, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
200 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 272.6
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.64
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272.645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.6451
Subtract 31 from 50 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272.64516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272.6451612
Subtracting 62 from 90 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.64516129
Deduct 279 from 280 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 272.64516129, and the remainder is 1e-09.
