We're dividing 31974942 by 14 
We're looking to find how many times 14 goes into 31974942.

Step 1:
3 divided by 14 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 14

On to step 2:
14 can be fit into 31 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 28 from 31 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 14

Moving on to step 3:
14 goes into 39 2 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 28 from 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 14

Step 4:
14 goes into 117 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 228.0
Deduct 112 from 117 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 14

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 54 by 14, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2283.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 42 from 54.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 14

Let's proceed to step 6:
129 divided by 14 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22839.0
Deduct 126 from 129 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 14

On to step 7:
If we divide 34 by 14, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 228392.0
Subtract 28 from 34 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 14

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 62 by 14, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2283924.0
If we take 56 away from 62, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 14, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2283924.4
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2283924.42
Subtract 28 from 40 to 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 11:
The number 14 fits into 120 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2283924.428
If we subtract 112 from 120, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 14, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2283924.4285
Subtracting 70 from 80 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 14, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2283924.42857
Deduct 98 from 100 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
14 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2283924.428571
Subtract 14 from 20 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 60 by 14, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2283924.4285714
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
40 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2283924.42857142
Subtract 28 from 40 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2283924.42857142 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
