Let's divide 545344 by 31
We want to divide 545344 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 54 to get 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 235 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 217 from 235 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
183 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 175.0
Deduct 155 from 183 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
284 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1759.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 279 from 284.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17591.0
Subtract 31 from 54 to 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 7:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17591.7
Subtract 217 from 230 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 goes into 130 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17591.74
Deduct 124 from 130 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17591.741
Subtracting 31 from 60 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17591.7419
Subtracting 279 from 290 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17591.74193
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17591.741935
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17591.7419354
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left with 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:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17591.74193548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 17591.74193548, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
