Let's divide 971400 by 31
We want to divide 971400 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 97 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 41 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 31 from 41 to get 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 31

On to step 4:
31 can be fit into 104 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313.0
If we subtract 93 from 104, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 110 / 31

On to step 5:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3133.0
If we take 93 away from 110, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 31

Step 6:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31335.0
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31335.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31335.48
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 31335.483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31335.4838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31335.48387
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31335.48387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31335.4838709
Subtracting 279 from 300 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31335.48387096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 31335.48387096 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
