Let's divide 245481 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 245481.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 31, we get 0 and 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 (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 245 7 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 217 from 245 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 284 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 279 from 284 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
58 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 791.0
Subtracting 31 from 58 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 271 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7918.0
If we subtract 248 from 271, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7918.7
Subtracting 217 from 230 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
130 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7918.74
Subtracting 124 from 130 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7918.741
Subtract 31 from 60 to 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 10:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7918.7419
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7918.74193
If we subtract 93 from 110, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
31 can be fit into 170 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7918.741935
If we take 155 away from 170, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7918.7419354
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7918.74193548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 7918.74193548 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
