Let's divide 31486329 by 427
We want to figure out the number of times 31486329 can be divided by 427.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 427 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 427

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 427, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 314 / 427

Advancing to step 3:
The number 427 fits into 314 0 times, leaving a remainder of 314.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 314 to get 314.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 314, then carry on: 3148 / 427

Going ahead to step 4:
3148 divided by 427 is 7 with a remainder of 159.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 2989 from 3148 to get 159.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 159, then repeat: 1596 / 427

Moving on to step 5:
1596 divided by 427 is 3 with a remainder of 315.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 1281 from 1596 leaves us with 315.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 315 and continue with: 3153 / 427

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 3153 by 427, we get 7 and a remainder of 164.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 737.0
Deduct 2989 from 3153 and we're left with 164.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 164, then carry on: 1642 / 427

Moving on to step 7:
427 can be fit into 1642 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 361.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7373.0
Subtract 1281 from 1642 to get 361.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 361, then repeat: 3619 / 427

On to step 8:
427 can be fit into 3619 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 203.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 73738.0
The remainder is 203 after subtracting 3416 from 3619.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2030, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2030 divided by 427 is 4 with a remainder of 322.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 73738.4
If we take 1708 away from 2030, we end up with 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 427 fits into 3220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 231.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73738.47
Deduct 2989 from 3220 and we're left with 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Step 11:
427 can be fit into 2310 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 175.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73738.475
Deduct 2135 from 2310 and we're left with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 1750 by 427, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73738.4754
Deduct 1708 from 1750 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
427 goes into 420 0 times with a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73738.4754
If we take 0 away from 420, we end up with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
427 goes into 4200 9 times with a remainder of 357.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73738.475409
Subtract 3843 from 4200 to get 357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
427 can be fit into 3570 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 73738.4754098
Deduct 3416 from 3570 and we're left with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 1540 by 427, we get 3 and a remainder of 259.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73738.47540983
If we take 1281 away from 1540, we end up with 259.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

Our division results in 73738.47540983 with a remaining 2.59e-07.
