We divide 4490 by 31
Our goal is to divide 4490 by 31.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 44 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 139 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 124 from 139 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 150 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 144.8
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144.83
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 144.838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 144.8387
Subtract 217 from 220 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.

Step 9:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 144.8387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
300 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 144.838709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 144.8387096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144.83870967
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 144.83870967 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
