We look at the division of 31542708 by 986 
We want to divide 31542708 by 986.

Going ahead to step 1:
986 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 986

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 315 / 986

Let's proceed to step 3:
315 divided by 986 is 0 with a remainder of 315.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 315 and we're left with 315.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 315 and repeat the process: 3154 / 986

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 3154 by 986, we get 3 and a remainder of 196.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 2958 from 3154.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 196 and repeat the process: 1962 / 986

Moving on to step 5:
986 goes into 1962 1 times with a remainder of 976.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 976 after subtracting 986 from 1962.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 976 and continue with: 9767 / 986

Step 6:
The number 986 fits into 9767 9 times, leaving a remainder of 893.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
The remainder is 893 after subtracting 8874 from 9767.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 893 and continue with: 8930 / 986

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 8930 by 986, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3199.0
Subtracting 8874 from 8930 leaves us with 56.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 568 / 986

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 568 by 986, we get 0 with a remainder of 568.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31990.0
If we take 0 away from 568, we end up with 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5680 by 986, we get 5 with a remainder of 750.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31990.5
Subtract 4930 from 5680 to get 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 7500 by 986, we get 7 with a remainder of 598.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 31990.57
Subtract 6902 from 7500 to get 598.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 986 fits into 5980 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31990.576
If we subtract 5916 from 5980, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 640 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 640.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31990.576
The remainder is 640 after subtracting 0 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
6400 divided by 986 is 6 with a remainder of 484.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31990.57606
The remainder is 484 after subtracting 5916 from 6400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
986 can be fit into 4840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 896.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31990.576064
If we take 3944 away from 4840, we end up with 896.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 8960 by 986, we get 9 and a remainder of 86.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31990.5760649
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 8874 from 8960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
986 can be fit into 860 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 860.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31990.5760649
If we subtract 0 from 860, we get 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

The final result is 31990.5760649 with a remainder of 8.6e-07.
