721744 ÷ 31 
Our goal is to divide 721744 by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 can be fit into 72 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 62 from 72.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 31

On to step 3:
If we divide 101 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 93 from 101, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 87 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 62 from 87 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 254 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2328.0
Subtract 248 from 254 to get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
64 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23282.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 62 from 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23282.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 8:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23282.06
Subtracting 186 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23282.064
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23282.0645
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23282.06451
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.

Step 12:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23282.064516
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23282.0645161
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23282.06451612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23282.06451612 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
