We divide 562461 by 31
Our goal is to divide 562461 by 31.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 31

Step 2:
The number 31 fits into 56 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 56, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
31 goes into 252 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 248 from 252 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 31

Step 4:
The number 31 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtracting 31 from 44 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 136 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 136 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
If we subtract 124 from 136, we get 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 31

On to step 6:
If we divide 121 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18143.0
Subtract 93 from 121 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18143.9
Deduct 279 from 280 and we're left with 1.
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 8:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18143.9
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18143.903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
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 10:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18143.9032
If we subtract 62 from 70, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18143.90322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18143.90322 and a remainder of 1.8e-05.
