We divide 836701 by 31
Our goal is to divide 836701 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 31

Step 2:
If we divide 83 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 62 away from 83, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 216 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 186 from 216.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 307 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtracting 279 from 307 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 31

On to step 5:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2699.0
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 26990.0
Deduct 0 from 11 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26990.3
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26990.35
Subtract 155 from 170 to 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 9:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26990.354
Subtract 124 from 150 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 26990.3548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26990.35483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26990.354838
Subtract 248 from 270 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26990.3548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26990.3548387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 26990.3548387, with a leftover of 3e-08.
