174855 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 174855.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 goes into 174 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 155 from 174, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 198 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 186 from 198 to get 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 125 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564.0
If we subtract 124 from 125, we get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5640.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5640.4
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5640.48
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5640.483
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5640.4838
Subtract 248 from 270 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5640.48387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5640.48387
Deduct 0 from 30 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5640.4838709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 210 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5640.48387096
Deduct 186 from 210 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 5640.48387096, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
