We're dividing 31718820 by 746 
Our goal is to divide 31718820 by 746.

On to step 1:
The number 746 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 746

Advancing to step 2:
The number 746 fits into 31 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 746

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 746 fits into 317 0 times, leaving a remainder of 317.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 317, we get 317.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 317 and continue with: 3171 / 746

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 3171 by 746, we get 4 with a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 2984 from 3171 and we're left with 187.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 187, then carry on: 1878 / 746

Advancing to step 5:
746 can be fit into 1878 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 386 after subtracting 1492 from 1878.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 386, then carry on: 3868 / 746

Step 6:
746 goes into 3868 5 times with a remainder of 138.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 425.0
Subtract 3730 from 3868 to get 138.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 138, then repeat: 1382 / 746

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 746 fits into 1382 1 times, leaving a remainder of 636.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4251.0
Subtract 746 from 1382 to get 636.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 636, then repeat: 6360 / 746

Step 8:
When dividing 6360 by 746, we get 8 with a remainder of 392.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42518.0
If we take 5968 away from 6360, we end up with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 746 fits into 3920 5 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42518.5
If we subtract 3730 from 3920, we get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
1900 divided by 746 is 2 with a remainder of 408.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42518.52
Subtract 1492 from 1900 to get 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
746 can be fit into 4080 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 350.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42518.525
Subtract 3730 from 4080 to get 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 746 fits into 3500 4 times, leaving a remainder of 516.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42518.5254
Deduct 2984 from 3500 and we're left with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
746 goes into 5160 6 times with a remainder of 684.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42518.52546
Subtracting 4476 from 5160 leaves us with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 6840 by 746, we get 9 and a remainder of 126.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42518.525469
Subtract 6714 from 6840 to get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
746 can be fit into 1260 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 514.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42518.5254691
Subtracting 746 from 1260 leaves us with 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 5140 by 746, we get 6 and a remainder of 664.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42518.52546916
The remainder is 664 after subtracting 4476 from 5140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42518.52546916 with a balance of 6.64e-07.
