1577 divided by 31 
Our goal is to divide 1577 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 157 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 155 from 157, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 27 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
When dividing 270 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.8
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.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.87
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.87
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.8709
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.87096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 50.870967
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.8709677
If we take 217 away from 230, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 50.8709677 with a balance of 1.3e-07.
