We divide 381956 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 381956 can be divided by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 38 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 38 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 71 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 62 away from 71, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 can be fit into 99 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we take 93 away from 99, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 65 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1232.0
Deduct 62 from 65 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
36 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12321.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 31 from 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12321.1
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12321.16
Subtract 186 from 190 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 9:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12321.161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12321.1612
Subtracting 62 from 90 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12321.16129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12321.16129
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
31 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12321.1612903
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12321.16129032
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12321.16129032 with a balance of 8e-09.
