189738 ÷ 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 189738.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 31

On to step 3:
When dividing 189 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 186 from 189 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 31

On to step 4:
37 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 31 from 37 to get 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 63 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we subtract 62 from 63, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6120.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
31 can be fit into 180 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6120.5
Deduct 155 from 180 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6120.58
If we subtract 248 from 250, we get 2.
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:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6120.58
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6120.5806
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6120.58064
Subtract 124 from 140 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6120.580645
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.

Moving on to step 13:
50 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6120.5806451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6120.58064516
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 6120.58064516 with a remaining 4e-09.
