31746968 ÷ 587 
We're looking to find how many times 587 goes into 31746968.

Going ahead to step 1:
587 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 587

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 587

On to step 3:
When dividing 317 by 587, we get 0 with a remainder of 317.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 317, we get 317.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 317 and repeat the process: 3174 / 587

Moving on to step 4:
The number 587 fits into 3174 5 times, leaving a remainder of 239.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 2935 from 3174 and we're left with 239.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 239 and repeat the process: 2396 / 587

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 2396 by 587, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 2348 from 2396 to get 48.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 587

Step 6:
If we divide 489 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 489.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540.0
Subtract 0 from 489 to get 489.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 489, then carry on: 4896 / 587

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4896 by 587, we get 8 with a remainder of 200.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5408.0
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 4696 from 4896.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 200, then repeat: 2008 / 587

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 2008 by 587, we get 3 with a remainder of 247.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54083.0
Deduct 1761 from 2008 and we're left with 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
587 can be fit into 2470 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 122.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54083.4
Deduct 2348 from 2470 and we're left with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1220 by 587, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54083.42
Subtracting 1174 from 1220 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 11:
587 goes into 460 0 times with a remainder of 460.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54083.42
The remainder is 460 after subtracting 0 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
4600 divided by 587 is 7 with a remainder of 491.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54083.4207
Subtracting 4109 from 4600 leaves us with 491.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
587 can be fit into 4910 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 214.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54083.42078
If we subtract 4696 from 4910, we get 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 587 fits into 2140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 379.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54083.420783
Subtract 1761 from 2140 to get 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
587 goes into 3790 6 times with a remainder of 268.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 54083.4207836
If we subtract 3522 from 3790, we get 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 2680 by 587, we get 4 and a remainder of 332.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54083.42078364
Subtracting 2348 from 2680 leaves us with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54083.42078364 with a balance of 3.32e-07.
