47488518 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 47488518 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 31

Step 2:
47 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 47, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 31

On to step 3:
When dividing 164 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 155 from 164 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 goes into 98 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
If we take 93 away from 98, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 58 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1531.0
Subtract 31 from 58 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 275 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 275 8 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15318.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 248 from 275.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 31

Moving on to step 7:
31 goes into 271 8 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 153188.0
Deduct 248 from 271 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 31

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 238 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1531887.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 217 from 238.
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 9:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1531887.6
Subtract 186 from 210 to get 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 10:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1531887.67
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1531887.677
Subtracting 217 from 230 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1531887.677, and the remainder is 0.0013.
