We're dividing 31876 by 50 
Our goal is to divide 31876 by 50.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 318 by 50, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 300 from 318, we get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 50

Moving on to step 4:
187 divided by 50 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 150 from 187 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 376 / 50

Step 5:
The number 50 fits into 376 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 637.0
If we subtract 350 from 376, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 637.5
Subtract 250 from 260 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 50, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 637.52
Deduct 100 from 100 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 637.52
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 637.52
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 637.52 with a remaining 0.0.
