We look at the division of 160424 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 160424.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 160 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 31 from 54, we get 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 232 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517.0
Deduct 217 from 232 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 can be fit into 154 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5174.0
Deduct 124 from 154 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
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: 5174.9
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.

On to step 8:
210 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5174.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5174.967
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5174.9677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5174.9677 with a remaining 0.00013.
