55531 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 55531.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 31 from 55.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 245 7 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 217 from 245.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 283 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 283 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 279 from 283, we get 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 41 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1791.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 31 from 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1791.3
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1791.32
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1791.322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 1791.322 with a remainder of 0.0018.
