We're dividing 997636 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 997636 can be divided by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 99 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 99 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 67 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 62 from 67 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 56 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 321.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 31 from 56.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 253 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 253 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3218.0
If we take 248 away from 253, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 56 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32181.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 31 from 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 can be fit into 250 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 32181.8
Subtract 248 from 250 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32181.8
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32181.806
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 186 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32181.8064
If we subtract 124 from 140, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32181.80645
If we subtract 155 from 160, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32181.806451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32181.8064516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 32181.80645161
Subtracting 31 from 40 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 32181.80645161 with a remaining 9e-09.
