Let's divide 31970956 by 897
We're looking to find how many times 897 goes into 31970956.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 897, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 897

Going ahead to step 2:
31 divided by 897 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 897

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 319 by 897, we get 0 with a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 319 and we're left with 319.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 319 and repeat the process: 3197 / 897

Let's proceed to step 4:
897 can be fit into 3197 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 506.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 2691 from 3197 to get 506.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 506, then repeat: 5060 / 897

Advancing to step 5:
897 can be fit into 5060 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 575.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 4485 from 5060 leaves us with 575.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 575 and continue: 5759 / 897

Moving on to step 6:
The number 897 fits into 5759 6 times, leaving a remainder of 377.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 356.0
The remainder is 377 after subtracting 5382 from 5759.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 377 and continue: 3775 / 897

Step 7:
When dividing 3775 by 897, we get 4 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3564.0
The remainder is 187 after subtracting 3588 from 3775.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 187 and continue: 1876 / 897

Going ahead to step 8:
897 can be fit into 1876 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35642.0
Subtracting 1794 from 1876 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
897 can be fit into 820 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 820.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35642.0
If we subtract 0 from 820, we get 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
897 can be fit into 8200 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 127.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35642.09
Deduct 8073 from 8200 and we're left with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1270 by 897, we get 1 with a remainder of 373.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35642.091
Deduct 897 from 1270 and we're left with 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3730 by 897, we get 4 and a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 35642.0914
If we subtract 3588 from 3730, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1420 by 897, we get 1 with a remainder of 523.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35642.09141
If we take 897 away from 1420, we end up with 523.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 897 fits into 5230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 745.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35642.091415
If we take 4485 away from 5230, we end up with 745.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 7450 by 897, we get 8 and a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 35642.0914158
Deduct 7176 from 7450 and we're left with 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 2740 by 897, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35642.09141583
Deduct 2691 from 2740 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 35642.09141583 with a balance of 4.9e-08.
