Let's divide 550616 by 31
Our goal is to divide 550616 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 55, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 goes into 236 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtracting 217 from 236 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 191 / 31

On to step 5:
191 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1776.0
Deduct 186 from 191 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
56 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17761.0
Deduct 31 from 56 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 250 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17761.8
Subtracting 248 from 250 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17761.8
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17761.806
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17761.8064
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17761.80645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17761.806451
If we take 31 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17761.8064516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17761.80645161
Subtract 31 from 40 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17761.80645161 with a remaining 9e-09.
