Let's divide 596867 by 31
We want to divide 596867 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 59, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 goes into 286 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 279 from 286.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 78 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 192.0
If we take 62 away from 78, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
166 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1925.0
Subtracting 155 from 166 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 117 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19253.0
Subtracting 93 from 117 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19253.7
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19253.77
Deduct 217 from 230 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19253.77 with a balance of 0.013.
