Let's divide 871556 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 871556.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 31

On to step 2:
87 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 87, we get 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 251 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 248 from 251 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 35 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 281.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 31 from 35.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 31

On to step 5:
When dividing 45 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2811.0
Subtract 31 from 45 to get 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 146 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28114.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 124 from 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28114.7
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up 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.

Step 8:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28114.7
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
300 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 28114.709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28114.7096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 240 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28114.70967
If we subtract 217 from 240, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28114.709677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 28114.709677, and the remainder is 1.3e-06.
