Let's divide 187483 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 187483 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 187 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 186 from 187 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 148 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 604.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 124 from 148.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 243 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 243 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6047.0
Subtract 217 from 243 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
260 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6047.8
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6047.83
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6047.838
If we subtract 248 from 270, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6047.8387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 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 11:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6047.8387
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6047.838709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 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 13:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6047.8387096
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6047.83870967
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6047.83870967, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
