We divide 31738312 by 401
We're looking to find how many times 401 goes into 31738312.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 401 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 401

Moving on to step 2:
The number 401 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 401

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 401 fits into 317 0 times, leaving a remainder of 317.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 317 to get 317.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3173 / 401

Advancing to step 4:
401 can be fit into 3173 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 366.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 2807 from 3173 leaves us with 366.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 366 and repeat the process: 3668 / 401

On to step 5:
The number 401 fits into 3668 9 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we subtract 3609 from 3668, we get 59.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 593 / 401

On to step 6:
593 divided by 401 is 1 with a remainder of 192.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 791.0
Deduct 401 from 593 and we're left with 192.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 192, then carry on: 1921 / 401

Going ahead to step 7:
401 can be fit into 1921 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 317.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7914.0
If we subtract 1604 from 1921, we get 317.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3172 / 401

On to step 8:
401 goes into 3172 7 times with a remainder of 365.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 79147.0
Subtracting 2807 from 3172 leaves us with 365.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3650, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
401 goes into 3650 9 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79147.9
If we take 3609 away from 3650, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 401, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79147.91
Subtracting 401 from 410 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
401 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79147.91
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 900 by 401, we get 2 and a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 79147.9102
If we subtract 802 from 900, we get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Step 13:
401 can be fit into 980 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 178.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 79147.91022
Subtracting 802 from 980 leaves us with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 79147.91022 with a balance of 0.000178.
