We divide 31224656 by 973
We want to divide 31224656 by 973.

Step 1:
973 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 973

Let's proceed to step 2:
973 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 973

Advancing to step 3:
973 goes into 312 0 times with a remainder of 312.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 0 from 312.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3122 / 973

Advancing to step 4:
3122 divided by 973 is 3 with a remainder of 203.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2919 from 3122 and we're left with 203.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 203, then repeat: 2034 / 973

Moving on to step 5:
973 can be fit into 2034 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 1946 from 2034, we get 88.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 88, then repeat: 886 / 973

Going ahead to step 6:
886 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 886.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.0
Subtracting 0 from 886 leaves us with 886.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 886, then repeat: 8865 / 973

Step 7:
8865 divided by 973 is 9 with a remainder of 108.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3209.0
Subtracting 8757 from 8865 leaves us with 108.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 108 and continue with: 1086 / 973

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 1086 by 973, we get 1 with a remainder of 113.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32091.0
Deduct 973 from 1086 and we're left with 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1130 divided by 973 is 1 with a remainder of 157.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32091.1
If we subtract 973 from 1130, we get 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
973 goes into 1570 1 times with a remainder of 597.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32091.11
If we subtract 973 from 1570, we get 597.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5970, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 32091.11, and the remainder is 0.597.
