We're dividing 742423 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 742423 by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 74 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 62 from 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
122 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 93 from 122.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 294 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtracting 279 from 294 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 152 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 goes into 152 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2394.0
Deduct 124 from 152 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 283 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 283 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23949.0
Deduct 279 from 283 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23949.1
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 31 from 40.
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 8:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23949.12
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23949.129
Subtract 279 from 280 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
10 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23949.129
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23949.12903
Subtract 93 from 100 to get 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 12:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23949.129032
If we subtract 62 from 70, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23949.1290322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 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 quotient of the division is 23949.1290322, and the remainder is 1.8e-07.
