We look at the division of 617189 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 617189.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 61 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 31 from 61.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 307 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 279 from 307.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 31

On to step 4:
281 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 199.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 279 from 281.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 31

Step 5:
The number 31 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1990.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 31

On to step 6:
If we divide 289 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19909.0
If we subtract 279 from 289, we get 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 7:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19909.3
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19909.32
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19909.322
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19909.322 with a balance of 0.0018.
