654979 divided by 31 
We want to divide 654979 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 65 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 62 from 65.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
34 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 31 from 34 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 31

On to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 39 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 31 from 39 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2112.0
Subtracting 62 from 87 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 goes into 259 8 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21128.0
If we subtract 248 from 259, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21128.3
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21128.35
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21128.354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21128.3548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21128.35483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 21128.354838
Subtract 248 from 270 to get 22.
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 13:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21128.3548387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
31 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21128.3548387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 21128.3548387 and a remainder of 3e-08.
