We look at the division of 311983 by 68 
We're looking to find how many times 68 goes into 311983.

Step 1:
68 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 68

On to step 2:
31 divided by 68 is 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.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 68

Moving on to step 3:
The number 68 fits into 311 4 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 272 from 311.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 399 / 68

Going ahead to step 4:
399 divided by 68 is 5 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 340 from 399, we get 59.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 598 / 68

On to step 5:
If we divide 598 by 68, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 458.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 544 from 598.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 543 / 68

Moving on to step 6:
68 can be fit into 543 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4587.0
Deduct 476 from 543 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 68 fits into 670 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4587.9
If we subtract 612 from 670, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
68 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4587.98
Subtracting 544 from 580 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
360 divided by 68 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4587.985
If we take 340 away from 360, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 68 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4587.9852
If we take 136 away from 200, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 68, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4587.98529
If we take 612 away from 640, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
68 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4587.985294
If we subtract 272 from 280, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 68 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4587.9852941
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
120 divided by 68 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4587.98529411
If we take 68 away from 120, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4587.98529411 with a balance of 5.2e-08.
