We look at the division of 31979941 by 249 
Our goal is to divide 31979941 by 249.

Advancing to step 1:
249 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 249

Let's proceed to step 2:
249 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 249

Step 3:
249 can be fit into 319 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 249 from 319 leaves us with 70.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 249

On to step 4:
If we divide 707 by 249, we get 2 and a remainder of 209.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 209 after subtracting 498 from 707.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 209, then repeat: 2099 / 249

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 2099 by 249, we get 8 with a remainder of 107.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
If we take 1992 away from 2099, we end up with 107.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 107, then repeat: 1079 / 249

On to step 6:
249 can be fit into 1079 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1284.0
Subtract 996 from 1079 to get 83.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 834 / 249

Advancing to step 7:
249 goes into 834 3 times with a remainder of 87.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12843.0
Deduct 747 from 834 and we're left with 87.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 871 / 249

Moving on to step 8:
249 goes into 871 3 times with a remainder of 124.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128433.0
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 747 from 871.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
1240 divided by 249 is 4 with a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 128433.4
If we take 996 away from 1240, we end up with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
249 goes into 2440 9 times with a remainder of 199.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 128433.49
Subtracting 2241 from 2440 leaves us with 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
249 can be fit into 1990 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 247.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128433.497
If we subtract 1743 from 1990, we get 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
249 goes into 2470 9 times with a remainder of 229.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128433.4979
Deduct 2241 from 2470 and we're left with 229.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2290, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
249 can be fit into 2290 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128433.49799
If we take 2241 away from 2290, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

The final result is 128433.49799 with a remainder of 4.9e-05.
