We look at the division of 189717 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 189717.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 31

Step 3:
189 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 186 from 189.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 31

On to step 4:
31 can be fit into 37 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 31 away from 37, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 can be fit into 61 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 611.0
If we subtract 31 from 61, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 307 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 307 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6119.0
Subtracting 279 from 307 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6119.9
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 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:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6119.9
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 9:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6119.903
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.

Step 10:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6119.9032
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.

On to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6119.90322
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.

After the division, we end up with 6119.90322 and a remainder of 1.8e-05.
