We divide 48353728 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 48353728 can be divided by 31.

Step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 48, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 173 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 155 from 173 to get 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 185 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtracting 155 from 185 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 303 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 303 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1559.0
Subtract 279 from 303 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 247 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15597.0
If we subtract 217 from 247, we get 30.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 302 / 31

Moving on to step 7:
302 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155979.0
Subtract 279 from 302 to get 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 31

On to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 238 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1559797.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 217 from 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1559797.6
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1559797.67
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 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 11:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1559797.677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1559797.677 with a balance of 0.0013.
