We look at the division of 552408 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 552408 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 55 to get 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 242 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 217 from 242 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 254 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtracting 248 from 254 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 60 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1781.0
If we take 31 away from 60, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 298 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17819.0
Subtracting 279 from 298 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17819.6
If we take 186 away from 190, we end up with 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 8:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17819.61
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up 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 9:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17819.612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17819.6129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17819.6129
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17819.612903
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17819.6129032
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17819.61290322
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 62 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17819.61290322, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
