229444 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 229444.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 229 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 217 from 229 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 can be fit into 124 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtracting 124 from 124 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 740.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 31

On to step 6:
31 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7401.0
If we subtract 31 from 44, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 130 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7401.4
Subtract 124 from 130 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7401.41
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.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7401.419
If we subtract 279 from 290, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7401.4193
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7401.41935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 7401.419354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7401.4193548
Subtract 248 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7401.41935483
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 7401.41935483, with a leftover of 2.7e-08.
