We divide 31243878 by 254
Our goal is to divide 31243878 by 254.

On to step 1:
254 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 254

Step 2:
The number 254 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 254

On to step 3:
254 goes into 312 1 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 254 from 312 leaves us with 58.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 584 / 254

Moving on to step 4:
The number 254 fits into 584 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 508 from 584, we get 76.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 763 / 254

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 763 by 254, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 762 from 763.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 254

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 18 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1230.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 254

Moving on to step 7:
254 goes into 187 0 times with a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12300.0
Subtracting 0 from 187 leaves us with 187.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1878 / 254

Going ahead to step 8:
1878 divided by 254 is 7 with a remainder of 100.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123007.0
If we take 1778 away from 1878, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
254 can be fit into 1000 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123007.3
If we subtract 762 from 1000, we get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2380 divided by 254 is 9 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123007.39
Subtract 2286 from 2380 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 940 by 254, we get 3 and a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123007.393
If we take 762 away from 940, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
254 goes into 1780 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123007.3937
If we take 1778 away from 1780, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
20 divided by 254 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123007.3937
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 254 fits into 200 0 times, leaving a remainder of 200.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123007.3937
Deduct 0 from 200 and we're left with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 123007.3937 with a remaining 2e-05.
