177284 ÷ 31 
Our goal is to divide 177284 by 31.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 177 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 155 from 177 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
222 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 217 from 222, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 571.0
Deduct 31 from 58 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 31

Step 6:
31 can be fit into 274 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.0
If we subtract 248 from 274, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5718.8
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5718.83
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5718.838
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.8387
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.8387
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.

Step 12:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5718.838709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5718.8387096
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 186 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5718.83870967
If we subtract 217 from 240, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5718.83870967 with a remaining 2.3e-08.
