Let's divide 31280655 by 973
We want to figure out the number of times 31280655 can be divided by 973.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 973

On to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 312 / 973

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 312 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 312.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 0 from 312.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 312 and repeat the process: 3128 / 973

Step 4:
3128 divided by 973 is 3 with a remainder of 209.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2919 from 3128 and we're left with 209.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 209 and repeat the process: 2090 / 973

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2090 by 973, we get 2 and a remainder of 144.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 1946 from 2090, we get 144.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1446 / 973

On to step 6:
When dividing 1446 by 973, we get 1 with a remainder of 473.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 321.0
If we take 973 away from 1446, we end up with 473.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 473, then repeat: 4735 / 973

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 973 fits into 4735 4 times, leaving a remainder of 843.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3214.0
If we subtract 3892 from 4735, we get 843.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 843 and continue with: 8435 / 973

Advancing to step 8:
973 can be fit into 8435 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 651.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32148.0
Subtracting 7784 from 8435 leaves us with 651.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6510, and continue the process.

Step 9:
6510 divided by 973 is 6 with a remainder of 672.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32148.6
Deduct 5838 from 6510 and we're left with 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 6720 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 882.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32148.66
Deduct 5838 from 6720 and we're left with 882.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 32148.66 with a balance of 0.882.
