We look at the division of 31601456 by 501 
We want to divide 31601456 by 501.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 501 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 501

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 501, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 501

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 316 by 501, we get 0 with a remainder of 316.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 316 after subtracting 0 from 316.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 316, then repeat: 3160 / 501

Step 4:
501 can be fit into 3160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 154.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 3006 away from 3160, we end up with 154.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 154, then carry on: 1541 / 501

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1541 by 501, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we subtract 1503 from 1541, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 501

Step 6:
If we divide 384 by 501, we get 0 and a remainder of 384.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 630.0
If we take 0 away from 384, we end up with 384.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 384 and continue with: 3845 / 501

Let's proceed to step 7:
501 goes into 3845 7 times with a remainder of 338.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6307.0
If we take 3507 away from 3845, we end up with 338.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 338, then repeat: 3386 / 501

On to step 8:
3386 divided by 501 is 6 with a remainder of 380.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63076.0
If we take 3006 away from 3386, we end up with 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
3800 divided by 501 is 7 with a remainder of 293.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63076.7
The remainder is 293 after subtracting 3507 from 3800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
501 can be fit into 2930 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 425.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63076.75
If we take 2505 away from 2930, we end up with 425.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
501 goes into 4250 8 times with a remainder of 242.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63076.758
If we take 4008 away from 4250, we end up with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 2420 by 501, we get 4 with a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63076.7584
Subtract 2004 from 2420 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
501 goes into 4160 8 times with a remainder of 152.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63076.75848
Subtracting 4008 from 4160 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1520 divided by 501 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63076.758483
Subtract 1503 from 1520 to get 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 15:
501 goes into 170 0 times with a remainder of 170.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63076.758483
Subtract 0 from 170 to get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 501 fits into 1700 3 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63076.75848303
Deduct 1503 from 1700 and we're left with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

The final result is 63076.75848303 with a remainder of 1.97e-07.
