31245485 ÷ 971 
We want to figure out the number of times 31245485 can be divided by 971.

On to step 1:
971 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
971 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 312 / 971

Step 3:
971 can be fit into 312 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 312 to get 312.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3124 / 971

Step 4:
3124 divided by 971 is 3 with a remainder of 211.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2913 away from 3124, we end up with 211.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 211 and repeat the process: 2115 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2115 by 971, we get 2 with a remainder of 173.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 1942 from 2115 to get 173.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 173, then repeat: 1734 / 971

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1734 by 971, we get 1 and a remainder of 763.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 321.0
Subtracting 971 from 1734 leaves us with 763.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 763 and repeat the process: 7638 / 971

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 7638 by 971, we get 7 and a remainder of 841.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3217.0
Subtracting 6797 from 7638 leaves us with 841.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 841, then repeat: 8415 / 971

Moving on to step 8:
8415 divided by 971 is 8 with a remainder of 647.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32178.0
Subtracting 7768 from 8415 leaves us with 647.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
971 goes into 6470 6 times with a remainder of 644.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 32178.6
The remainder is 644 after subtracting 5826 from 6470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 971 fits into 6440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 614.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32178.66
If we subtract 5826 from 6440, we get 614.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 32178.66 with a balance of 0.614.
