We divide 31609534 by 204
Let's see how many times 204 fits into 31609534.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 204

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 204, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 204

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 316 by 204, we get 1 and a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 204 from 316 to get 112.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 112 and continue with: 1120 / 204

Step 4:
The number 204 fits into 1120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 1020 from 1120, we get 100.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 100 and continue with: 1009 / 204

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 1009 by 204, we get 4 and a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 154.0
The remainder is 193 after subtracting 816 from 1009.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 193, then carry on: 1935 / 204

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1935 by 204, we get 9 and a remainder of 99.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1549.0
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 1836 from 1935.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 99, then repeat: 993 / 204

On to step 7:
The number 204 fits into 993 4 times, leaving a remainder of 177.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15494.0
Subtract 816 from 993 to get 177.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 177 and continue: 1774 / 204

Step 8:
204 can be fit into 1774 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 142.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154948.0
Subtracting 1632 from 1774 leaves us with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1420 by 204, we get 6 and a remainder of 196.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154948.6
If we subtract 1224 from 1420, we get 196.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 204 fits into 1960 9 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154948.69
Subtracting 1836 from 1960 leaves us with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1240 by 204, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154948.696
Subtract 1224 from 1240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 204, we get 0 and a remainder of 160.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154948.696
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 204 fits into 1600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154948.69607
Subtracting 1428 from 1600 leaves us with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 1720 by 204, we get 8 and a remainder of 88.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154948.696078
If we take 1632 away from 1720, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
204 goes into 880 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154948.6960784
Deduct 816 from 880 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
640 divided by 204 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154948.69607843
Subtract 612 from 640 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 154948.69607843 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
