We're dividing 31978107 by 247 
Our goal is to divide 31978107 by 247.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 247, we get 0 with 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 247

Step 2:
247 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 247

Step 3:
When dividing 319 by 247, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 247 away from 319, we end up with 72.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 727 / 247

Going ahead to step 4:
727 divided by 247 is 2 with a remainder of 233.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 494 from 727 to get 233.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 233 and repeat the process: 2338 / 247

Let's proceed to step 5:
2338 divided by 247 is 9 with a remainder of 115.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 2223 from 2338.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 115 and continue: 1151 / 247

Moving on to step 6:
The number 247 fits into 1151 4 times, leaving a remainder of 163.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1294.0
If we subtract 988 from 1151, we get 163.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 163, then repeat: 1630 / 247

Going ahead to step 7:
1630 divided by 247 is 6 with a remainder of 148.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12946.0
If we take 1482 away from 1630, we end up with 148.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 148, then repeat: 1487 / 247

Moving on to step 8:
1487 divided by 247 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129466.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 1482 from 1487.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
247 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129466.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
500 divided by 247 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129466.02
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 494 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
247 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 129466.02
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 247 fits into 600 2 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 129466.0202
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 494 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
247 goes into 1060 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129466.02024
Subtracting 988 from 1060 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 247 fits into 720 2 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129466.020242
If we take 494 away from 720, we end up 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.

Step 15:
247 goes into 2260 9 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129466.0202429
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 2223 from 2260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
247 can be fit into 370 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129466.02024291
The remainder is 123 after subtracting 247 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 129466.02024291 with a remaining 1.23e-07.
