We're dividing 52341 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 52341.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 52 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 52 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 213 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 186 from 213 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 274 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtracting 248 from 274 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 31

On to step 5:
When dividing 261 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1688.0
Subtracting 248 from 261 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1688.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 124 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1688.41
Deduct 31 from 60 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1688.419
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1688.4193
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1688.41935
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1688.419354
Subtracting 124 from 150 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1688.4193548
Subtract 248 from 260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1688.41935483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1688.41935483 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
