We're dividing 31722304 by 551 
Our goal is to divide 31722304 by 551.

Going ahead to step 1:
551 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 551

Moving on to step 2:
551 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 551

Step 3:
551 goes into 317 0 times with a remainder of 317.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 317 leaves us with 317.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 317, then repeat: 3172 / 551

Advancing to step 4:
3172 divided by 551 is 5 with a remainder of 417.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2755 away from 3172, we end up with 417.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 417 and repeat the process: 4172 / 551

On to step 5:
551 goes into 4172 7 times with a remainder of 315.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 3857 from 4172 and we're left with 315.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 315 and repeat the process: 3153 / 551

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 551 fits into 3153 5 times, leaving a remainder of 398.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 575.0
Subtracting 2755 from 3153 leaves us with 398.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 398, then repeat: 3980 / 551

Moving on to step 7:
3980 divided by 551 is 7 with a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5757.0
Deduct 3857 from 3980 and we're left with 123.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 123 and repeat the process: 1234 / 551

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1234 by 551, we get 2 with a remainder of 132.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57572.0
If we take 1102 away from 1234, we end up with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1320 divided by 551 is 2 with a remainder of 218.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57572.2
Subtract 1102 from 1320 to get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2180 divided by 551 is 3 with a remainder of 527.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57572.23
Subtract 1653 from 2180 to get 527.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
551 goes into 5270 9 times with a remainder of 311.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 57572.239
Subtracting 4959 from 5270 leaves us with 311.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
551 goes into 3110 5 times with a remainder of 355.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57572.2395
Subtracting 2755 from 3110 leaves us with 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 551 fits into 3550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57572.23956
Subtracting 3306 from 3550 leaves us with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 551 fits into 2440 4 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57572.239564
If we subtract 2204 from 2440, we get 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
2360 divided by 551 is 4 with a remainder of 156.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57572.2395644
If we subtract 2204 from 2360, we get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 57572.2395644 and a remainder of 1.56e-06.
