We're dividing 596480 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 596480 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 59 to get 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 286 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 279 away from 286, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 31

On to step 4:
When dividing 74 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 192.0
If we take 62 away from 74, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 128 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1924.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 124 from 128.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 31

On to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19241.0
Subtract 31 from 40 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19241.2
If we take 62 away from 90, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19241.29
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
10 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19241.29
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
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: 19241.2903
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19241.29032
Deduct 62 from 70 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19241.290322
If we take 62 away from 80, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 19241.290322, and the remainder is 1.8e-06.
