Let's divide 753542 by 31
We want to divide 753542 by 31.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 75 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 75, we get 13.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 133 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 can be fit into 133 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 124 away from 133, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 95 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 93 from 95.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2430.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
242 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24307.0
If we subtract 217 from 242, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24307.8
Subtracting 248 from 250 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24307.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24307.806
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 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 10:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24307.8064
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24307.80645
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24307.806451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 24307.8064516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24307.80645161
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.

After the division, we end up with 24307.80645161 and a remainder of 9e-09.
