We divide 57897 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 57897 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 57 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 57, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 31

Step 3:
If we divide 268 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 248 from 268 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 209 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 186.0
If we subtract 186 from 209, we get 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
237 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1867.0
If we subtract 217 from 237, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1867.6
If we subtract 186 from 200, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1867.64
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1867.645
If we subtract 155 from 160, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1867.6451
If we take 31 away from 50, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1867.64516
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1867.645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1867.6451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1867.64516129
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1867.64516129 and a remainder of 1e-09.
