We look at the division of 311697 by 80 
We want to figure out the number of times 311697 can be divided by 80.

Step 1:
3 divided by 80 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 80

Moving on to step 2:
80 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 80

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 311 by 80, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 240 from 311 and we're left with 71.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 716 / 80

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 716 by 80, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 640 from 716.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 769 / 80

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 769 by 80, we get 9 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 389.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 720 from 769.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 80

Moving on to step 6:
497 divided by 80 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3896.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 480 from 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 80 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3896.2
Deduct 160 from 170 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 80, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3896.21
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
80 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3896.212
Deduct 160 from 200 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 80 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3896.2125
Deduct 400 from 400 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
0 divided by 80 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3896.2125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3896.2125
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3896.2125 with a balance of 0.0.
