Let's divide 55098 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 55098 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 31 from 55.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 239 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we subtract 217 from 239, we get 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 goes into 228 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1777.0
Subtract 217 from 228 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.

Step 6:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1777.3
If we subtract 93 from 110, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1777.35
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1777.354
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1777.3548
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1777.35483
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1777.354838
If we subtract 248 from 270, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1777.3548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1777.3548387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1777.3548387 with a balance of 3e-08.
