We look at the division of 31400487 by 480 
We're looking to find how many times 480 goes into 31400487.

Step 1:
3 divided by 480 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 480

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 480 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 480

On to step 3:
If we divide 314 by 480, we get 0 and a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 314, we get 314.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 314, then repeat: 3140 / 480

Advancing to step 4:
480 can be fit into 3140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 260.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 2880 from 3140, we get 260.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 260, then repeat: 2600 / 480

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 2600 by 480, we get 5 and a remainder of 200.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we subtract 2400 from 2600, we get 200.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 200, then repeat: 2004 / 480

On to step 6:
The number 480 fits into 2004 4 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 654.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 1920 from 2004.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 848 / 480

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 848 by 480, we get 1 and a remainder of 368.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6541.0
Subtracting 480 from 848 leaves us with 368.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 368 and repeat the process: 3687 / 480

Step 8:
3687 divided by 480 is 7 with a remainder of 327.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65417.0
Subtracting 3360 from 3687 leaves us with 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 480 fits into 3270 6 times, leaving a remainder of 390.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65417.6
Deduct 2880 from 3270 and we're left with 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
480 goes into 3900 8 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65417.68
If we take 3840 away from 3900, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 480 fits into 600 1 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65417.681
If we subtract 480 from 600, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 480 fits into 1200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 240.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 65417.6812
Subtract 960 from 1200 to get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
480 can be fit into 2400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65417.68125
Deduct 2400 from 2400 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 480 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 65417.68125
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Step 15:
480 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65417.68125
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The quotient of the division is 65417.68125, and the remainder is 0.0.
