We divide 54949 by 31
We want to divide 54949 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 54, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 goes into 239 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 217 from 239 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 31

On to step 4:
224 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 217 from 224 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 79 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1772.0
If we subtract 62 from 79, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1772.5
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1772.54
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
260 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1772.548
Subtract 248 from 260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1772.5483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1772.54838
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1772.548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1772.548387
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1772.54838709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1772.54838709, with a leftover of 2.1e-08.
