Let's divide 462866 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 462866.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 46, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 152 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 124 from 152.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 288 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtract 279 from 288 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 31

On to step 5:
31 goes into 96 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1493.0
If we subtract 93 from 96, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 36 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14931.0
If we subtract 31 from 36, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14931.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14931.16
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14931.161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14931.1612
Deduct 62 from 90 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14931.16129
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14931.16129
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:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14931.1612903
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14931.16129032
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.

Our division results in 14931.16129032 with a remaining 8e-09.
