We divide 471883 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 471883.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 31 from 47 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 155 from 161 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 62 from 68.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 68 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1522.0
Deduct 62 from 68 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
63 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15222.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 62 from 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15222.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15222.03
Deduct 93 from 100 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15222.032
Subtract 62 from 70 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15222.0322
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 62 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15222.0322 with a balance of 0.00018.
