31247874 divided by 497 
We're looking to find how many times 497 goes into 31247874.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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 / 497

Moving on to step 2:
497 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 312 / 497

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 312 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 312.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 0 from 312.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3124 / 497

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 3124 by 497, we get 6 with a remainder of 142.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 2982 from 3124 and we're left with 142.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 142 and repeat the process: 1427 / 497

Going ahead to step 5:
497 goes into 1427 2 times with a remainder of 433.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 994 from 1427, we get 433.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 433, then repeat: 4338 / 497

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 4338 by 497, we get 8 with a remainder of 362.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 628.0
Subtract 3976 from 4338 to get 362.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 362 and continue: 3627 / 497

Let's proceed to step 7:
497 can be fit into 3627 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6287.0
If we take 3479 away from 3627, we end up with 148.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 148 and continue with: 1484 / 497

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1484 by 497, we get 2 and a remainder of 490.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62872.0
Subtracting 994 from 1484 leaves us with 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Step 9:
4900 divided by 497 is 9 with a remainder of 427.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62872.9
Subtracting 4473 from 4900 leaves us with 427.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4270, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 4270 by 497, we get 8 and a remainder of 294.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62872.98
Subtracting 3976 from 4270 leaves us with 294.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
497 goes into 2940 5 times with a remainder of 455.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62872.985
The remainder is 455 after subtracting 2485 from 2940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
497 can be fit into 4550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62872.9859
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 4473 from 4550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
497 goes into 770 1 times with a remainder of 273.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 62872.98591
Subtract 497 from 770 to get 273.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
2730 divided by 497 is 5 with a remainder of 245.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62872.985915
Subtract 2485 from 2730 to get 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
2450 divided by 497 is 4 with a remainder of 462.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62872.9859154
Deduct 1988 from 2450 and we're left with 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 4620 by 497, we get 9 with a remainder of 147.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62872.98591549
Subtract 4473 from 4620 to get 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Our division results in 62872.98591549 with a remaining 1.47e-07.
