We divide 31311995 by 729
Our goal is to divide 31311995 by 729.

On to step 1:
729 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 729

Advancing to step 2:
729 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 313 / 729

Step 3:
When dividing 313 by 729, we get 0 with a remainder of 313.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 313, we get 313.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 313, then repeat: 3131 / 729

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 3131 by 729, we get 4 with a remainder of 215.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2916 from 3131 leaves us with 215.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 215 and continue: 2151 / 729

Moving on to step 5:
729 can be fit into 2151 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 693.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 1458 from 2151 leaves us with 693.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 693, then repeat: 6939 / 729

On to step 6:
729 goes into 6939 9 times with a remainder of 378.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 429.0
Subtracting 6561 from 6939 leaves us with 378.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 378 and continue with: 3789 / 729

On to step 7:
729 goes into 3789 5 times with a remainder of 144.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4295.0
Subtracting 3645 from 3789 leaves us with 144.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 144 and continue: 1445 / 729

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 1445 by 729, we get 1 with a remainder of 716.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 42951.0
The remainder is 716 after subtracting 729 from 1445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 7160 by 729, we get 9 with a remainder of 599.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42951.9
Subtract 6561 from 7160 to get 599.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
5990 divided by 729 is 8 with a remainder of 158.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42951.98
Subtracting 5832 from 5990 leaves us with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1580 by 729, we get 2 with a remainder of 122.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42951.982
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 1458 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 729 fits into 1220 1 times, leaving a remainder of 491.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42951.9821
Subtract 729 from 1220 to get 491.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 4910 by 729, we get 6 and a remainder of 536.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42951.98216
Subtract 4374 from 4910 to get 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
729 goes into 5360 7 times with a remainder of 257.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42951.982167
Subtracting 5103 from 5360 leaves us with 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2570, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2570 by 729, we get 3 with a remainder of 383.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42951.9821673
If we subtract 2187 from 2570, we get 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

Step 16:
729 goes into 3830 5 times with a remainder of 185.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42951.98216735
If we subtract 3645 from 3830, we get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42951.98216735 with a balance of 1.85e-07.
