We divide 31943959 by 971
Our goal is to divide 31943959 by 971.

Going ahead to step 1:
971 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 971

On to step 2:
31 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 971

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 319 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 319.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 319 after subtracting 0 from 319.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 319, then carry on: 3194 / 971

Advancing to step 4:
The number 971 fits into 3194 3 times, leaving a remainder of 281.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2913 away from 3194, we end up with 281.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 281 and continue: 2813 / 971

Moving on to step 5:
The number 971 fits into 2813 2 times, leaving a remainder of 871.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 1942 from 2813, we get 871.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 871 and repeat the process: 8719 / 971

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 8719 by 971, we get 8 with a remainder of 951.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 328.0
The remainder is 951 after subtracting 7768 from 8719.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 951, then carry on: 9515 / 971

Going ahead to step 7:
971 goes into 9515 9 times with a remainder of 776.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3289.0
The remainder is 776 after subtracting 8739 from 9515.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 776 and continue with: 7769 / 971

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 7769 by 971, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32898.0
Subtracting 7768 from 7769 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
971 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32898.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
971 goes into 100 0 times with a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 32898.0
Subtract 0 from 100 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 32898.0, and the remainder is 0.1.
