We're dividing 147886 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 147886.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 31

Step 3:
31 can be fit into 147 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 124 away from 147, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 238 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 217 from 238 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 31

On to step 5:
31 can be fit into 218 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 477.0
If we take 217 away from 218, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4770.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4770.5
Deduct 155 from 160 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4770.51
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left 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 9:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4770.516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
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 10:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4770.5161
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4770.51612
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4770.516129
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 4770.516129
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4770.51612903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4770.51612903 and a remainder of 7e-09.
