Let's divide 504809 by 31
We want to divide 504809 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 194 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 186 away from 194, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we subtract 62 from 88, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1628.0
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 129 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16284.0
If we subtract 124 from 129, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16284.1
Subtract 31 from 50 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16284.16
Deduct 186 from 190 and we're left with 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:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16284.161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we 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 10:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16284.1612
Subtract 62 from 90 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16284.16129
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 279 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
10 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16284.16129
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.

On to step 13:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16284.1612903
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16284.16129032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16284.16129032 and a remainder of 8e-09.
