We look at the division of 744347 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 744347 can be divided by 31.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 62 from 74 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 31

On to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 124 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 124 away from 124, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 34 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2401.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 31 from 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 goes into 37 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24011.0
Subtract 31 from 37 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24011.1
Subtract 31 from 60 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 290 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24011.19
Deduct 279 from 290 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24011.193
If we subtract 93 from 110, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24011.1935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24011.19354
Subtracting 124 from 150 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 24011.193548
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 24011.1935483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 24011.19354838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24011.19354838 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
