We look at the division of 31486189 by 974 
Our goal is to divide 31486189 by 974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 974

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 974

Going ahead to step 3:
314 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 314.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 314 after subtracting 0 from 314.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 314, then repeat: 3148 / 974

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 3148 by 974, we get 3 and a remainder of 226.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 2922 from 3148, we get 226.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 226 and repeat the process: 2266 / 974

Moving on to step 5:
974 can be fit into 2266 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 318.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 1948 from 2266 and we're left with 318.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 318 and continue with: 3181 / 974

Let's proceed to step 6:
3181 divided by 974 is 3 with a remainder of 259.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323.0
Subtracting 2922 from 3181 leaves us with 259.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 259, then repeat: 2598 / 974

Let's proceed to step 7:
974 can be fit into 2598 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 650.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3232.0
If we take 1948 away from 2598, we end up with 650.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 650 and repeat the process: 6509 / 974

Step 8:
If we divide 6509 by 974, we get 6 and a remainder of 665.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32326.0
Subtract 5844 from 6509 to get 665.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
974 goes into 6650 6 times with a remainder of 806.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32326.6
Subtracting 5844 from 6650 leaves us with 806.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 974 fits into 8060 8 times, leaving a remainder of 268.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32326.68
If we take 7792 away from 8060, we end up with 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 2680 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 732.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32326.682
The remainder is 732 after subtracting 1948 from 2680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 974 fits into 7320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 502.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32326.6827
The remainder is 502 after subtracting 6818 from 7320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
974 can be fit into 5020 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 32326.68275
If we subtract 4870 from 5020, we get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 1500 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 526.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32326.682751
If we subtract 974 from 1500, we get 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
974 goes into 5260 5 times with a remainder of 390.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 32326.6827515
Subtracting 4870 from 5260 leaves us with 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
974 can be fit into 3900 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32326.68275154
Deduct 3896 from 3900 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 32326.68275154 with a remaining 4e-09.
