We're dividing 448949 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 448949 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 44 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 124 from 138.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 149 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Subtracting 124 from 149 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 254 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1448.0
If we subtract 248 from 254, we get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 69 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14482.0
Deduct 62 from 69 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14482.2
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14482.22
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14482.22 with a balance of 0.018.
