40753 divided by 31 
We want to divide 40753 by 31.

Step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 40 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 97 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 93 from 97, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 31

Step 4:
31 goes into 45 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 31 away from 45, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 143 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 143 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1314.0
Deduct 124 from 143 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 6:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1314.6
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1314.61
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1314.612
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1314.6129
If we subtract 279 from 280, we 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 10:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1314.6129
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1314.612903
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1314.6129032
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
31 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1314.61290322
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 1314.61290322 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
