539739 ÷ 31 
Our goal is to divide 539739 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 53 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
229 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 217 from 229 to get 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 127 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 124 from 127.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 33 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1741.0
If we take 31 away from 33, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
29 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17410.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17410.9
Subtracting 279 from 290 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17410.93
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17410.935
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17410.9354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17410.93548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17410.935483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17410.9354838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17410.93548387
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17410.93548387, with a leftover of 3e-09.
