Let's divide 488398 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 488398.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 48 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 178 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 155 from 178, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 233 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 can be fit into 233 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 217 away from 233, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 169 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1575.0
Subtracting 155 from 169 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
31 goes into 148 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15754.0
Subtracting 124 from 148 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.

Step 7:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15754.7
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15754.77
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
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 15754.77 with a balance of 0.013.
