We look at the division of 554823 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 554823.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 55, we get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 244 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 217 away from 244, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
278 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 248 from 278.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 302 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 302 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1789.0
Subtract 279 from 302 to get 23.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 233 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
31 can be fit into 233 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17897.0
Subtract 217 from 233 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.

On to step 7:
160 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17897.5
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 8:
50 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17897.51
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17897.516
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17897.5161
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 31 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17897.51612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
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 12:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17897.516129
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17897.516129
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.

Advancing to step 14:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17897.51612903
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 93 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17897.51612903 with a balance of 7e-09.
