31918131 divided by 494 
We're looking to find how many times 494 goes into 31918131.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 494, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 494

Advancing to step 2:
31 divided by 494 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 494

On to step 3:
When dividing 319 by 494, we get 0 with a remainder of 319.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 319, we end up with 319.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 319, then repeat: 3191 / 494

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 3191 by 494, we get 6 and a remainder of 227.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 2964 from 3191 leaves us with 227.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 227 and repeat the process: 2278 / 494

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2278 by 494, we get 4 and a remainder of 302.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 1976 from 2278 leaves us with 302.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 302 and continue: 3021 / 494

Step 6:
3021 divided by 494 is 6 with a remainder of 57.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 646.0
Subtract 2964 from 3021 to get 57.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 573 / 494

Moving on to step 7:
494 goes into 573 1 times with a remainder of 79.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6461.0
Deduct 494 from 573 and we're left with 79.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 791 / 494

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 791 by 494, we get 1 and a remainder of 297.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64611.0
Subtract 494 from 791 to get 297.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
494 can be fit into 2970 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64611.6
If we take 2964 away from 2970, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 494, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64611.6
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 600 by 494, we get 1 and a remainder of 106.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64611.601
Subtract 494 from 600 to get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Step 12:
494 can be fit into 1060 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64611.6012
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 988 from 1060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 720 by 494, we get 1 with a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 64611.60121
Deduct 494 from 720 and we're left with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
2260 divided by 494 is 4 with a remainder of 284.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64611.601214
Subtract 1976 from 2260 to get 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
2840 divided by 494 is 5 with a remainder of 370.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64611.6012145
If we subtract 2470 from 2840, we get 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 494 fits into 3700 7 times, leaving a remainder of 242.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64611.60121457
Subtracting 3458 from 3700 leaves us with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 64611.60121457, with a leftover of 2.42e-07.
