We divide 544884 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 544884.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 54, we get 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
234 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 217 from 234.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 178 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtract 155 from 178 to get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
238 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1757.0
If we take 217 away from 238, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 214 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17576.0
Deduct 186 from 214 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.

Moving on to step 7:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17576.9
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17576.9
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17576.903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17576.9032
If we take 62 away from 70, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17576.90322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 17576.90322 with a remainder of 1.8e-05.
