We're dividing 988754 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 988754.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 93 from 98, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 31

Step 3:
31 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 31 from 58 to get 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 31

Step 4:
If we divide 277 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 318.0
Deduct 248 from 277 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 295 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 can be fit into 295 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3189.0
Subtracting 279 from 295 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 164 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31895.0
If we subtract 155 from 164, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31895.2
Deduct 62 from 90 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31895.29
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.

Step 9:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31895.29
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31895.2903
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 11:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31895.29032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31895.290322
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 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 outcome is 31895.290322, with a leftover of 1.8e-06.
