We divide 48983 by 31
Our goal is to divide 48983 by 31.

Step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 31

On to step 2:
48 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 48 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 can be fit into 179 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 155 from 179 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 31

On to step 4:
31 goes into 248 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 248 from 248 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1580.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1580.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1580.09
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1580.096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1580.0967
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1580.09677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1580.09677, with a leftover of 1.3e-05.
