731478 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 731478.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 31

Step 2:
The number 31 fits into 73 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 62 from 73.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 111 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 111 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 93 from 111, we get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 31

On to step 4:
31 goes into 184 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 235.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 155 from 184.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 297 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 297 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2359.0
Subtract 279 from 297 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 188 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23596.0
Deduct 186 from 188 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23596.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23596.06
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 186 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23596.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23596.0645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23596.06451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23596.064516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23596.0645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
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 14:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23596.06451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 23596.06451612, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
