Let's divide 214843 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 214843 can be divided by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 214 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 186 from 214 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 288 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we subtract 279 from 288, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 94 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 693.0
Subtracting 93 from 94 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 31

Step 6:
The number 31 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6930.0
If we subtract 0 from 13, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6930.4
If we take 124 away from 130, we end up with 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 8:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6930.41
Subtracting 31 from 60 leaves us with 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 9:
31 can be fit into 290 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6930.419
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 279 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
110 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6930.4193
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.

Step 11:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6930.41935
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.

On to step 12:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6930.419354
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6930.4193548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6930.41935483
Subtract 93 from 120 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6930.41935483 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
