We divide 31991894 by 538
Our goal is to divide 31991894 by 538.

Step 1:
538 goes into 3 0 times 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.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 538

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 538 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 538

Step 3:
538 goes into 319 0 times with a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 319 leaves us with 319.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 319 and continue with: 3199 / 538

Let's proceed to step 4:
3199 divided by 538 is 5 with a remainder of 509.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2690 away from 3199, we end up with 509.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 509 and repeat the process: 5091 / 538

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 5091 by 538, we get 9 and a remainder of 249.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 4842 away from 5091, we end up with 249.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 249 and continue with: 2498 / 538

On to step 6:
If we divide 2498 by 538, we get 4 and a remainder of 346.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 594.0
Subtracting 2152 from 2498 leaves us with 346.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 346 and continue: 3469 / 538

Let's proceed to step 7:
538 can be fit into 3469 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 241.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5946.0
If we subtract 3228 from 3469, we get 241.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 241 and continue: 2414 / 538

Advancing to step 8:
538 can be fit into 2414 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 59464.0
The remainder is 262 after subtracting 2152 from 2414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 538 fits into 2620 4 times, leaving a remainder of 468.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59464.4
Deduct 2152 from 2620 and we're left with 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 4680 by 538, we get 8 with a remainder of 376.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 59464.48
Subtracting 4304 from 4680 leaves us with 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 3760 by 538, we get 6 and a remainder of 532.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59464.486
Subtract 3228 from 3760 to get 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
538 can be fit into 5320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 478.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59464.4869
The remainder is 478 after subtracting 4842 from 5320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
538 goes into 4780 8 times with a remainder of 476.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59464.48698
Subtract 4304 from 4780 to get 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
538 goes into 4760 8 times with a remainder of 456.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59464.486988
If we take 4304 away from 4760, we end up with 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 59464.486988 with a remaining 4.56e-05.
