Let's divide 252947 by 31
We want to divide 252947 by 31.

Step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 252 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 248 from 252 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtract 31 from 49 to get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 184 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 815.0
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 6:
297 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8159.0
If we take 279 away from 297, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 180 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8159.5
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 155 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
250 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8159.58
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8159.58
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 10:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8159.5806
If we subtract 186 from 200, we 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 11:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8159.58064
If we take 124 away from 140, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8159.580645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On 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: 8159.5806451
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8159.58064516
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 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 8159.58064516 with a remaining 4e-09.
