31981080 divided by 973 
We want to divide 31981080 by 973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 973 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 973

On to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 973

On to step 3:
319 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 319 leaves us with 319.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 319, then repeat: 3198 / 973

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 3198 by 973, we get 3 and a remainder of 279.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2919 from 3198 leaves us with 279.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 279 and continue with: 2791 / 973

Step 5:
The number 973 fits into 2791 2 times, leaving a remainder of 845.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 845 after subtracting 1946 from 2791.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 845 and continue: 8450 / 973

Let's proceed to step 6:
973 goes into 8450 8 times with a remainder of 666.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we take 7784 away from 8450, we end up with 666.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 666 and continue with: 6668 / 973

Going ahead to step 7:
6668 divided by 973 is 6 with a remainder of 830.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3286.0
Deduct 5838 from 6668 and we're left with 830.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 830, then repeat: 8300 / 973

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 8300 by 973, we get 8 and a remainder of 516.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 32868.0
Deduct 7784 from 8300 and we're left with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 5160 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 295.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32868.5
Deduct 4865 from 5160 and we're left with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
973 goes into 2950 3 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32868.53
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 2919 from 2950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
973 can be fit into 310 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 310.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 32868.53
Subtract 0 from 310 to get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 973 fits into 3100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 181.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32868.5303
Subtract 2919 from 3100 to get 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1810 by 973, we get 1 with a remainder of 837.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 32868.53031
If we take 973 away from 1810, we end up with 837.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 973 fits into 8370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 586.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32868.530318
Subtract 7784 from 8370 to get 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 5860 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 32868.5303186
Deduct 5838 from 5860 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 220 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 220.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32868.5303186
If we take 0 away from 220, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 32868.5303186, with a leftover of 2.2e-07.
