We divide 408706 by 31
We want to divide 408706 by 31.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 31

Step 2:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 98 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 93 from 98.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
57 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we subtract 31 from 57, we get 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1318.0
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 126 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13184.0
Subtract 124 from 126 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13184.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13184.06
Deduct 186 from 200 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13184.064
Subtracting 124 from 140 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
31 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13184.0645
If we subtract 155 from 160, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13184.06451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13184.064516
If we take 186 away from 190, 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.

On to step 13:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13184.0645161
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13184.06451612
If we take 62 away from 90, we end up 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.

The final result is 13184.06451612 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
