31740846 ÷ 173 
We're looking to find how many times 173 goes into 31740846.

Step 1:
The number 173 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 173

Going ahead to step 2:
173 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 173

Advancing to step 3:
173 can be fit into 317 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 173 from 317.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1444 / 173

Going ahead to step 4:
173 goes into 1444 8 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 1384 from 1444, we get 60.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 600 / 173

Moving on to step 5:
The number 173 fits into 600 3 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Deduct 519 from 600 and we're left with 81.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 818 / 173

Moving on to step 6:
The number 173 fits into 818 4 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1834.0
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 692 from 818.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 126, then carry on: 1264 / 173

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1264 by 173, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18347.0
Deduct 1211 from 1264 and we're left with 53.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 536 / 173

Moving on to step 8:
173 goes into 536 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183473.0
If we subtract 519 from 536, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 173, we get 0 with a remainder of 170.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 183473.0
Subtracting 0 from 170 leaves us with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
173 goes into 1700 9 times with a remainder of 143.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183473.09
Subtract 1557 from 1700 to 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1430 by 173, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 183473.098
Subtracting 1384 from 1430 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 460 by 173, we get 2 with a remainder of 114.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183473.0982
If we subtract 346 from 460, we get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1140 by 173, we get 6 with a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 183473.09826
Deduct 1038 from 1140 and we're left with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1020 by 173, we get 5 and a remainder of 155.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 183473.098265
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 865 from 1020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
173 goes into 1550 8 times with a remainder of 166.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183473.0982658
If we take 1384 away from 1550, we end up with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1660 by 173, we get 9 and a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 183473.09826589
The remainder is 103 after subtracting 1557 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 183473.09826589, and the remainder is 1.03e-07.
