We're dividing 54921 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 54921.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 54, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 239 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 217 from 239 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 222 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtracting 217 from 222 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1771.0
Deduct 31 from 51 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 200 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1771.6
Deduct 186 from 200 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1771.64
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1771.645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1771.6451
If we take 31 away from 50, we end up 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1771.64516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1771.645161
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.

Step 12:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1771.6451612
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 13:
If we divide 280 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1771.64516129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up 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.

Our division results in 1771.64516129 with a remaining 1e-09.
