We divide 544341 by 31
We want to divide 544341 by 31.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 54 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 217 away from 234, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 173 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Deduct 155 from 173 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 184 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1755.0
If we take 155 away from 184, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 31

On to step 6:
If we divide 291 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17559.0
If we take 279 away from 291, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17559.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17559.38
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17559.387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17559.387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17559.38709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 210 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17559.387096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17559.3870967
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17559.38709677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 17559.38709677 with a remainder of 1.3e-08.
