We look at the division of 496925 by 31 
We want to divide 496925 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 31 from 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 can be fit into 186 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 186 from 186 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 9 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 92 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1602.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 62 from 92.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 305 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 305 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16029.0
Subtract 279 from 305 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16029.8
Subtract 248 from 260 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.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16029.83
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16029.838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16029.8387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16029.8387
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16029.838709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16029.8387096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16029.83870967
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16029.83870967, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
