31493 divided by 55 
Our goal is to divide 31493 by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 314 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 275 away from 314, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 399 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 385 from 399.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 143 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 572.0
Subtract 110 from 143 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 330 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 572.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 330 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
55 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 572.6
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572.6
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 572.6, with a leftover of 0.0.
