54656 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 54656 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 31 from 54.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 31

Step 3:
31 goes into 236 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 217 from 236 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 195 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 195 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 186 from 195.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 96 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1763.0
If we take 93 away from 96, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1763.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1763.09
If we subtract 279 from 300, we 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.

On to step 8:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1763.096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1763.0967
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.

Step 10:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1763.09677
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1763.09677 with a balance of 1.3e-05.
