We're dividing 31709314 by 853 
We want to figure out the number of times 31709314 can be divided by 853.

On to step 1:
The number 853 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 853

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 853, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 853

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 317 by 853, we get 0 and a remainder of 317.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 317, we end up with 317.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 317 and continue with: 3170 / 853

Step 4:
3170 divided by 853 is 3 with a remainder of 611.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2559 from 3170 and we're left with 611.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 611, then repeat: 6119 / 853

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 6119 by 853, we get 7 and a remainder of 148.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 5971 from 6119 and we're left with 148.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 148 and repeat the process: 1483 / 853

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 1483 by 853, we get 1 and a remainder of 630.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 371.0
The remainder is 630 after subtracting 853 from 1483.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 630 and continue with: 6301 / 853

Going ahead to step 7:
853 can be fit into 6301 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3717.0
Subtract 5971 from 6301 to get 330.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 330 and repeat the process: 3304 / 853

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 3304 by 853, we get 3 with a remainder of 745.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 37173.0
Deduct 2559 from 3304 and we're left with 745.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 7450 by 853, we get 8 with a remainder of 626.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37173.8
Subtracting 6824 from 7450 leaves us with 626.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 6260 by 853, we get 7 with a remainder of 289.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37173.87
The remainder is 289 after subtracting 5971 from 6260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
2890 divided by 853 is 3 with a remainder of 331.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37173.873
Subtract 2559 from 2890 to get 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3310 by 853, we get 3 and a remainder of 751.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37173.8733
If we take 2559 away from 3310, we end up with 751.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37173.8733 with a balance of 0.00751.
