We divide 31046501 by 429
Our goal is to divide 31046501 by 429.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 429 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 429

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 429, we get 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.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 310 / 429

Moving on to step 3:
429 can be fit into 310 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 310.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 310, we end up with 310.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 310 and continue: 3104 / 429

Going ahead to step 4:
429 goes into 3104 7 times with a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 3003 from 3104 to get 101.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 101 and repeat the process: 1016 / 429

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1016 by 429, we get 2 and a remainder of 158.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 858 from 1016 leaves us with 158.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 158 and repeat the process: 1585 / 429

On to step 6:
1585 divided by 429 is 3 with a remainder of 298.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 723.0
If we take 1287 away from 1585, we end up with 298.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 298, then carry on: 2980 / 429

Going ahead to step 7:
429 can be fit into 2980 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 406.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7236.0
If we take 2574 away from 2980, we end up with 406.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 406, then repeat: 4061 / 429

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 4061 by 429, we get 9 with a remainder of 200.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72369.0
If we take 3861 away from 4061, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2000 by 429, we get 4 with a remainder of 284.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72369.4
Subtracting 1716 from 2000 leaves us with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
429 can be fit into 2840 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 266.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72369.46
Subtracting 2574 from 2840 leaves us with 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 2660 by 429, we get 6 and a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 72369.466
If we subtract 2574 from 2660, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 72369.466, with a leftover of 0.0086.
