54982 ÷ 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 54982.

Step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 54 to get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
239 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 217 from 239.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 228 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtracting 217 from 228 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 112 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1773.0
If we take 93 away from 112, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1773.6
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
40 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1773.61
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 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 8:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1773.612
If we subtract 62 from 90, we 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 9:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1773.6129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up 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.

Step 10:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1773.6129
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1773.612903
Deduct 93 from 100 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
70 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1773.6129032
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.

Step 13:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1773.61290322
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us 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 final outcome is 1773.61290322, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
