We're dividing 31607968 by 609 
We want to divide 31607968 by 609.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 609 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 609

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 609 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 609

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 316 by 609, we get 0 with a remainder of 316.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 316, we end up with 316.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 316 and continue with: 3160 / 609

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 3160 by 609, we get 5 with a remainder of 115.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 3045 from 3160 and we're left with 115.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1157 / 609

On to step 5:
609 can be fit into 1157 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 548.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 548 after subtracting 609 from 1157.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 548 and continue: 5489 / 609

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 5489 by 609, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 519.0
Subtract 5481 from 5489 to get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 609

Moving on to step 7:
86 divided by 609 is 0 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5190.0
If we take 0 away from 86, we end up with 86.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 868 / 609

Going ahead to step 8:
868 divided by 609 is 1 with a remainder of 259.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51901.0
Deduct 609 from 868 and we're left with 259.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
609 goes into 2590 4 times with a remainder of 154.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51901.4
The remainder is 154 after subtracting 2436 from 2590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1540 by 609, we get 2 and a remainder of 322.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 51901.42
The remainder is 322 after subtracting 1218 from 1540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
3220 divided by 609 is 5 with a remainder of 175.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51901.425
Subtract 3045 from 3220 to get 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 609 fits into 1750 2 times, leaving a remainder of 532.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51901.4252
Subtract 1218 from 1750 to get 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 5320 by 609, we get 8 with a remainder of 448.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51901.42528
If we subtract 4872 from 5320, we get 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
609 can be fit into 4480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 217.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51901.425287
If we subtract 4263 from 4480, we get 217.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
2170 divided by 609 is 3 with a remainder of 343.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 51901.4252873
If we subtract 1827 from 2170, we get 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 609 fits into 3430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 385.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51901.42528735
Deduct 3045 from 3430 and we're left with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

The final result is 51901.42528735 with a remainder of 3.85e-07.
