We look at the division of 31482412 by 971 
We want to figure out the number of times 31482412 can be divided by 971.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 971 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 971

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 971

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 314 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 314.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 314, we get 314.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 314, then carry on: 3148 / 971

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 3148 by 971, we get 3 with a remainder of 235.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2913 from 3148 and we're left with 235.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 235, then repeat: 2352 / 971

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 971 fits into 2352 2 times, leaving a remainder of 410.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 1942 from 2352 to get 410.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 410 and continue: 4104 / 971

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 971 fits into 4104 4 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Deduct 3884 from 4104 and we're left with 220.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 220, then carry on: 2201 / 971

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 2201 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 259.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3242.0
Subtract 1942 from 2201 to get 259.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 259, then carry on: 2592 / 971

On to step 8:
2592 divided by 971 is 2 with a remainder of 650.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32422.0
If we take 1942 away from 2592, we end up with 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 6500 by 971, we get 6 and a remainder of 674.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32422.6
Subtracting 5826 from 6500 leaves us with 674.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 971 fits into 6740 6 times, leaving a remainder of 914.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32422.66
Subtract 5826 from 6740 to get 914.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 32422.66, with a leftover of 0.914.
