494467 divided by 31 
We want to divide 494467 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 49 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
184 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 155 away from 184, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 294 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 279 from 294.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 156 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1595.0
Subtract 155 from 156 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15950.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15950.5
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15950.54
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15950.548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15950.5483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15950.54838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15950.548387
Subtract 217 from 220 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15950.548387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15950.54838709
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15950.54838709, with a leftover of 2.1e-08.
