We divide 31306 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 31306.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 313 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 313 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 296 from 313 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 74

On to step 4:
When dividing 170 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 148 from 170.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 226 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 226 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtract 222 from 226 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 6:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 423.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 423.05
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 423.054
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 423.054
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 423.05405
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 423.054054
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 423.054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 423.05405405
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 423.05405405 and a remainder of 3e-08.
