We look at the division of 49459 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 49459 can be divided by 31.

On to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 49, we get 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 184 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 155 from 184.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 295 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 295 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 279 from 295 to get 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 169 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1595.0
If we take 155 away from 169, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1595.4
If we subtract 124 from 140, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1595.45
Deduct 155 from 160 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1595.451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1595.4516
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1595.45161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1595.451612
Subtracting 62 from 90 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1595.4516129
Subtract 279 from 280 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1595.4516129
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1595.4516129, and the remainder is 1e-08.
