We divide 31540939 by 979
We want to divide 31540939 by 979.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 979

Moving on to step 2:
979 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 315 / 979

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 315 by 979, we get 0 and a remainder of 315.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 315, we end up with 315.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 315, then repeat: 3154 / 979

Step 4:
If we divide 3154 by 979, we get 3 and a remainder of 217.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2937 from 3154 and we're left with 217.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 217, then repeat: 2170 / 979

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 2170 by 979, we get 2 and a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 1958 away from 2170, we end up with 212.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 212, then repeat: 2129 / 979

Moving on to step 6:
2129 divided by 979 is 2 with a remainder of 171.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 322.0
Subtract 1958 from 2129 to get 171.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 171, then repeat: 1713 / 979

Advancing to step 7:
1713 divided by 979 is 1 with a remainder of 734.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3221.0
If we subtract 979 from 1713, we get 734.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 734, then repeat: 7349 / 979

Going ahead to step 8:
7349 divided by 979 is 7 with a remainder of 496.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32217.0
Deduct 6853 from 7349 and we're left with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
4960 divided by 979 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32217.5
Deduct 4895 from 4960 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 650 by 979, we get 0 and a remainder of 650.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32217.5
If we take 0 away from 650, we end up with 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
979 can be fit into 6500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 626.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32217.506
Subtracting 5874 from 6500 leaves us with 626.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 6260 by 979, we get 6 and a remainder of 386.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32217.5066
Deduct 5874 from 6260 and we're left with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 32217.5066, and the remainder is 0.00386.
