We look at the division of 211872 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 211872 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
211 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 186 from 211 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 258 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 248 away from 258, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 goes into 107 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 683.0
Subtracting 93 from 107 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 142 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6834.0
If we subtract 124 from 142, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6834.5
If we take 155 away from 180, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
31 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6834.58
If we subtract 248 from 250, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6834.58
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6834.5806
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6834.58064
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6834.580645
Subtracting 155 from 160 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6834.5806451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6834.58064516
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.

Our division results in 6834.58064516 with a remaining 4e-09.
