Let's divide 31599407 by 974
We want to divide 31599407 by 974.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 974, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 974

Advancing to step 2:
31 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 315 / 974

On to step 3:
If we divide 315 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 315.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 315, we end up with 315.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 315, then repeat: 3159 / 974

Let's proceed to step 4:
974 can be fit into 3159 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 237.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 237 after subtracting 2922 from 3159.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 237, then repeat: 2379 / 974

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 2379 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 431.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 1948 away from 2379, we end up with 431.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 431 and continue with: 4314 / 974

Going ahead to step 6:
974 goes into 4314 4 times with a remainder of 418.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Deduct 3896 from 4314 and we're left with 418.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 418, then carry on: 4180 / 974

Let's proceed to step 7:
974 goes into 4180 4 times with a remainder of 284.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3244.0
Subtracting 3896 from 4180 leaves us with 284.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 284, then carry on: 2847 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2847 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 899.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32442.0
Subtracting 1948 from 2847 leaves us with 899.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8990, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
974 goes into 8990 9 times with a remainder of 224.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32442.9
Deduct 8766 from 8990 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2240 divided by 974 is 2 with a remainder of 292.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32442.92
If we subtract 1948 from 2240, we get 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
974 can be fit into 2920 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 972.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32442.922
Subtract 1948 from 2920 to get 972.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 32442.922 and a remainder of 0.0972.
