140079 divided by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 140079 can be divided by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 124 from 140, we get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 57 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 451.0
Subtracting 31 from 57 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 269 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4518.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 248 from 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4518.6
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 8:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4518.67
If we subtract 217 from 240, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
230 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4518.677
If we subtract 217 from 230, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4518.677 with a balance of 0.0013.
