323497 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 323497.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 32 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 32 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 13, we get 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 124 from 134, we get 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
109 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1043.0
Deduct 93 from 109 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 167 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10435.0
Subtract 155 from 167 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10435.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10435.38
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10435.387
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10435.387
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10435.38709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 21.
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 12:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10435.387096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10435.3870967
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.

Step 14:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10435.38709677
If we subtract 217 from 230, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10435.38709677 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
