We divide 11947857 by 31
We want to divide 11947857 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 31

On to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 119 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 93 from 119 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 264 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 248 from 264 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 167 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtract 155 from 167 to get 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 128 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3854.0
If we take 124 away from 128, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 31

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 45 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38541.0
Deduct 31 from 45 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 31

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 147 4 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385414.0
If we take 124 away from 147, 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.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385414.7
Subtract 217 from 230 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 can be fit into 130 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 385414.74
Subtract 124 from 130 to get 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 11:
31 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385414.741
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.

On to step 12:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385414.7419
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385414.74193
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 385414.741935
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385414.7419354
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.

Step 16:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 385414.74193548
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 385414.74193548 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
