We're dividing 31937 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 31937 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 31 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 23 from 31.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 89 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 69 from 89 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 203 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 184 from 203 to get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 197 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1388.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 184 from 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1388.5
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1388.56
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1388.565
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1388.5652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1388.56521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1388.565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1388.5652173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1388.56521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1388.56521739 with a remaining 3e-09.
