We divide 31178890 by 174
We want to figure out the number of times 31178890 can be divided by 174.

Step 1:
174 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 174

Step 2:
31 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 174

Step 3:
311 divided by 174 is 1 with a remainder of 137.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 174 from 311 to get 137.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 137, then repeat: 1377 / 174

On to step 4:
When dividing 1377 by 174, we get 7 with a remainder of 159.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 159 after subtracting 1218 from 1377.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 159, then repeat: 1598 / 174

On to step 5:
The number 174 fits into 1598 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1598, we get 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 174

Step 6:
174 goes into 328 1 times with a remainder of 154.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1791.0
Subtracting 174 from 328 leaves us with 154.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 154 and continue with: 1549 / 174

Advancing to step 7:
174 goes into 1549 8 times with a remainder of 157.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17918.0
Subtract 1392 from 1549 to get 157.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 157, then repeat: 1570 / 174

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 174 fits into 1570 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179189.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1570, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179189.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
174 can be fit into 400 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179189.02
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 11:
174 can be fit into 520 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179189.022
If we subtract 348 from 520, we get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 179189.022 with a balance of 0.0172.
