473740 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 473740.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 31 from 47.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 163 / 31

On to step 3:
When dividing 163 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 155 from 163, we get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 87 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
If we take 62 away from 87, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 254 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1528.0
Subtract 248 from 254 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 60 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15281.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 31 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
290 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15281.9
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 279 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15281.93
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15281.935
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15281.9354
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 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 11:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15281.93548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15281.935483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15281.9354838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15281.93548387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 15281.93548387 with a remainder of 3e-09.
