31983742 ÷ 697 
We want to divide 31983742 by 697.

Step 1:
3 divided by 697 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 697

Let's proceed to step 2:
697 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 697

Step 3:
If we divide 319 by 697, we get 0 and a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 319, we get 319.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 319, then repeat: 3198 / 697

Step 4:
3198 divided by 697 is 4 with a remainder of 410.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2788 from 3198 leaves us with 410.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 410 and continue with: 4103 / 697

Advancing to step 5:
697 can be fit into 4103 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 618.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 3485 from 4103 leaves us with 618.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 618 and repeat the process: 6187 / 697

Advancing to step 6:
The number 697 fits into 6187 8 times, leaving a remainder of 611.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.0
Subtracting 5576 from 6187 leaves us with 611.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 611 and continue: 6114 / 697

Step 7:
The number 697 fits into 6114 8 times, leaving a remainder of 538.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4588.0
If we take 5576 away from 6114, we end up with 538.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 538, then carry on: 5382 / 697

On to step 8:
5382 divided by 697 is 7 with a remainder of 503.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45887.0
Subtract 4879 from 5382 to get 503.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5030, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
697 goes into 5030 7 times with a remainder of 151.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45887.7
If we subtract 4879 from 5030, we get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1510 by 697, we get 2 and a remainder of 116.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45887.72
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 1394 from 1510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
697 goes into 1160 1 times with a remainder of 463.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45887.721
Deduct 697 from 1160 and we're left with 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 4630 by 697, we get 6 with a remainder of 448.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45887.7216
If we take 4182 away from 4630, we end up with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 4480 by 697, we get 6 and a remainder of 298.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45887.72166
Subtract 4182 from 4480 to get 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 45887.72166, with a leftover of 0.000298.
