438851 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 438851.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 43, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 goes into 128 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 124 from 128 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
48 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141.0
If we subtract 31 from 48, we get 17.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 175 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 175 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1415.0
If we take 155 away from 175, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 201 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14156.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 186 from 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14156.4
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.

Step 8:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14156.48
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14156.483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
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:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14156.4838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14156.48387
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.

Moving on to step 12:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14156.48387
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 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.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14156.4838709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 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.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14156.48387096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14156.48387096, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
