We look at the division of 31280894 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 31280894 can be divided by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 312 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 312 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 312 leaves us with 51.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 518 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 518 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 435 from 518 and we're left with 83.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 830 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.0
If we take 783 away from 830, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 478 5 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3595.0
Subtract 435 from 478 to get 43.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 439 / 87

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 439 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35955.0
Subtract 435 from 439 to get 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 87

On to step 8:
If we divide 44 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359550.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 359550.5
Subtracting 435 from 440 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359550.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 359550.505
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 435 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
650 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359550.5057
Subtracting 609 from 650 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
87 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359550.50574
If we take 348 away from 410, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 359550.505747
Subtracting 609 from 620 leaves us 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 15:
The number 87 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359550.5057471
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
87 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359550.50574712
If we take 174 away from 230, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 359550.50574712 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
