Let's divide 424718 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 424718.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 31 from 42.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 114 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 93 from 114 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 217 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 217 from 217 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1370.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13700.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
180 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13700.5
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 155 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
31 can be fit into 250 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13700.58
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 248 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13700.58
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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 10:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13700.5806
Subtracting 186 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13700.58064
If we subtract 124 from 140, we 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13700.580645
Subtract 155 from 160 to 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 13:
50 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13700.5806451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 13700.58064516
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 186 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13700.58064516 with a remaining 4e-09.
