969964 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 969964.

Step 1:
31 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
96 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 96 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 39 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 31 from 39, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 31

Step 4:
89 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 62 from 89, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 276 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3128.0
Subtracting 248 from 276 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 284 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31289.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 279 from 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31289.1
Subtract 31 from 50 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31289.16
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31289.161
Subtracting 31 from 40 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31289.1612
Subtract 62 from 90 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31289.16129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31289.16129
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31289.1612903
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 70 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31289.16129032
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31289.16129032 with a balance of 8e-09.
