We look at the division of 31716297 by 216 
We want to figure out the number of times 31716297 can be divided by 216.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 216 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 216

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 216 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 216

On to step 3:
The number 216 fits into 317 1 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 216 from 317.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 101, then repeat: 1011 / 216

Step 4:
1011 divided by 216 is 4 with a remainder of 147.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 147 after subtracting 864 from 1011.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 147 and continue: 1476 / 216

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1476 by 216, we get 6 and a remainder of 180.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtracting 1296 from 1476 leaves us with 180.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1802 / 216

Step 6:
1802 divided by 216 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1468.0
If we subtract 1728 from 1802, we get 74.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 749 / 216

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 749 by 216, we get 3 with a remainder of 101.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14683.0
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 648 from 749.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 101, then carry on: 1017 / 216

Advancing to step 8:
216 goes into 1017 4 times with a remainder of 153.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146834.0
Deduct 864 from 1017 and we're left with 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
216 can be fit into 1530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146834.7
If we take 1512 away from 1530, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
216 can be fit into 180 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146834.7
If we subtract 0 from 180, we get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
216 goes into 1800 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146834.708
Subtracting 1728 from 1800 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 720 by 216, we get 3 and a remainder of 72.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146834.7083
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 648 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
216 goes into 720 3 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 146834.70833
If we subtract 648 from 720, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 146834.70833 with a balance of 7.2e-05.
