We look at the division of 256868 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 256868.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 256 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 248 from 256, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 62 from 88 to get 26.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 266 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 266 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 828.0
Deduct 248 from 266 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 31

Step 6:
31 can be fit into 188 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8286.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 186 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8286.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8286.06
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 186 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8286.064
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left with 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 10:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8286.0645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
50 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.06451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8286.064516
If we take 186 away from 190, we end up 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 13:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8286.0645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8286.06451612
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8286.06451612, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
