We divide 31880417 by 981
We're looking to find how many times 981 goes into 31880417.

Going ahead to step 1:
981 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 981

Step 2:
When dividing 31 by 981, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 981

Going ahead to step 3:
981 goes into 318 0 times with a remainder of 318.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 318 to get 318.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 318 and continue: 3188 / 981

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 981 fits into 3188 3 times, leaving a remainder of 245.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 2943 from 3188, we get 245.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 245 and continue with: 2450 / 981

Advancing to step 5:
981 can be fit into 2450 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 488.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 1962 away from 2450, we end up with 488.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 488 and continue with: 4884 / 981

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 4884 by 981, we get 4 and a remainder of 960.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
The remainder is 960 after subtracting 3924 from 4884.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 960, then repeat: 9601 / 981

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 9601 by 981, we get 9 with a remainder of 772.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3249.0
The remainder is 772 after subtracting 8829 from 9601.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 772 and continue with: 7727 / 981

On to step 8:
7727 divided by 981 is 7 with a remainder of 860.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32497.0
The remainder is 860 after subtracting 6867 from 7727.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
8600 divided by 981 is 8 with a remainder of 752.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32497.8
Subtracting 7848 from 8600 leaves us with 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 7520 by 981, we get 7 and a remainder of 653.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32497.87
Deduct 6867 from 7520 and we're left with 653.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 6530 by 981, we get 6 and a remainder of 644.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32497.876
If we subtract 5886 from 6530, we get 644.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 6440 by 981, we get 6 and a remainder of 554.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 32497.8766
If we subtract 5886 from 6440, we get 554.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5540, and continue the process.

The final result is 32497.8766 with a remainder of 0.00554.
