We're dividing 704964 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 704964 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 62 from 70 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 31

On to step 3:
84 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 62 from 84 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 227.0
If we take 217 away from 229, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 126 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 126 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2274.0
If we take 124 away from 126, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22740.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22740.7
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22740.77
If we subtract 217 from 230, 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.

The final result is 22740.77 with a remainder of 0.013.
