970785 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 970785 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 31

Step 2:
97 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 93 from 97.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 31 from 40, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 97 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313.0
If we take 93 away from 97, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3131.0
If we subtract 31 from 48, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 175 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 175 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31315.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 155 from 175.
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 7:
31 goes into 200 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31315.6
Subtract 186 from 200 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31315.64
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31315.645
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31315.6451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31315.64516
Deduct 186 from 190 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31315.645161
Subtract 31 from 40 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31315.6451612
Deduct 62 from 90 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31315.64516129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31315.64516129 with a balance of 1e-09.
