We're dividing 310973 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 310973 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 31

On to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 31 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 0 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
9 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 97 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1003.0
If we take 93 away from 97, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
31 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10031.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 31 from 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10031.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10031.38
Subtract 248 from 270 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10031.387
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10031.387
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.

On to step 11:
300 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10031.38709
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10031.387096
Subtracting 186 from 210 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10031.3870967
If we subtract 217 from 240, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 230 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10031.38709677
Subtracting 217 from 230 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10031.38709677 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
