Let's divide 558044 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 558044.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 55 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 248 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 248 from 248 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 31

Step 5:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1800.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18001.0
Subtracting 31 from 44 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18001.4
If we take 124 away from 130, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18001.41
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.

Step 9:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18001.419
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18001.4193
Deduct 93 from 110 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18001.41935
Deduct 155 from 170 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18001.419354
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18001.4193548
Subtract 248 from 260 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 14:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18001.41935483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final result is 18001.41935483 with a remainder of 2.7e-08.
