We look at the division of 424971 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 424971 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 31 from 42.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 114 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
114 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 93 from 114, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 219 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 217 from 219, we get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1370.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 goes into 271 8 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13708.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 248 from 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13708.7
If we take 217 away from 230, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 130 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13708.74
If we take 124 away from 130, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13708.741
If we take 31 away from 60, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13708.7419
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 279 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13708.74193
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13708.741935
If we take 155 away from 170, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13708.7419354
If we subtract 124 from 150, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13708.74193548
If we take 248 away from 260, 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.

Our division results in 13708.74193548 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
