We look at the division of 31759 by 2 
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 31759.

Step 1:
The number 2 fits into 3 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 2 from 3, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

On to step 2:
2 goes into 11 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 10 from 11 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
2 can be fit into 15 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1587.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 19 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15879.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15879.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15879.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15879.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15879.5 with a remaining 0.0.
