480855 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 480855 by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 48 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
158 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 155 away from 158, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 35 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1551.0
Deduct 31 from 35 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 31

Step 6:
When dividing 45 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15511.0
Subtract 31 from 45 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15511.4
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15511.45
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.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15511.451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15511.4516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15511.45161
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 15511.451612
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15511.4516129
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 14:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15511.4516129
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15511.4516129 with a remaining 1e-08.
