We divide 31747881 by 253
We want to figure out the number of times 31747881 can be divided by 253.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 253, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 253

Going ahead to step 2:
31 divided by 253 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 253

Step 3:
253 can be fit into 317 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 253 away from 317, we end up with 64.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 644 / 253

On to step 4:
253 goes into 644 2 times with a remainder of 138.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 506 away from 644, we end up with 138.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 138, then repeat: 1387 / 253

Advancing to step 5:
253 goes into 1387 5 times with a remainder of 122.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 1265 from 1387.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 122 and continue: 1228 / 253

Step 6:
When dividing 1228 by 253, we get 4 with a remainder of 216.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1254.0
Subtracting 1012 from 1228 leaves us with 216.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 216 and continue with: 2168 / 253

Going ahead to step 7:
253 goes into 2168 8 times with a remainder of 144.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12548.0
Deduct 2024 from 2168 and we're left with 144.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 144, then repeat: 1441 / 253

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 1441 by 253, we get 5 with a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125485.0
If we take 1265 away from 1441, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1760 by 253, we get 6 with a remainder of 242.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125485.6
If we subtract 1518 from 1760, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
253 can be fit into 2420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 143.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125485.69
If we subtract 2277 from 2420, we get 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1430 by 253, we get 5 with a remainder of 165.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125485.695
If we take 1265 away from 1430, we end up with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1650 divided by 253 is 6 with a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125485.6956
If we subtract 1518 from 1650, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
253 goes into 1320 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125485.69565
Deduct 1265 from 1320 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 14:
550 divided by 253 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125485.695652
Subtracting 506 from 550 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
253 can be fit into 440 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125485.6956521
The remainder is 187 after subtracting 253 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 253 fits into 1870 7 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125485.69565217
If we take 1771 away from 1870, we end up with 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

Our division results in 125485.69565217 with a remaining 9.9e-08.
