We're dividing 556226 by 31 
We want to divide 556226 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 31 from 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 246 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 217 from 246, we get 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 31

Step 4:
31 can be fit into 292 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 279 from 292, we get 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 132 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1794.0
Subtracting 124 from 132 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 86 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17942.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 62 from 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17942.7
If we subtract 217 from 240, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17942.77
Subtracting 217 from 230 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 17942.77 with a remaining 0.013.
