31837 ÷ 1 
We want to figure out the number of times 31837 can be divided by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 1, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 3 from 3, we get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
The number 1 fits into 1 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 318.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
3 divided by 1 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3183.0
If we subtract 3 from 3, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 1

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31837.0
If we subtract 7 from 7, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31837.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31837.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 31837.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
