We're dividing 464278 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 464278.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 46, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 154 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 124 from 154, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 302 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Deduct 279 from 302 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 goes into 237 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1497.0
Deduct 217 from 237 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 208 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14976.0
If we take 186 away from 208, we end up with 22.
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:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14976.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14976.7
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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 9:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14976.709
If we subtract 279 from 300, we 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.

On to step 10:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14976.7096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14976.70967
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
230 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14976.709677
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 14976.709677 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
