We look at the division of 31901494 by 854 
We want to divide 31901494 by 854.

On to step 1:
854 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the 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 / 854

Going ahead to step 2:
854 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 854

Going ahead to step 3:
854 can be fit into 319 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 319.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 319 leaves us with 319.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 319, then repeat: 3190 / 854

Advancing to step 4:
3190 divided by 854 is 3 with a remainder of 628.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 2562 from 3190, we get 628.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 628 and repeat the process: 6281 / 854

Going ahead to step 5:
854 can be fit into 6281 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 303.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 5978 from 6281, we get 303.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 303, then repeat: 3034 / 854

Advancing to step 6:
854 can be fit into 3034 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 472.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 373.0
Subtracting 2562 from 3034 leaves us with 472.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 472, then repeat: 4729 / 854

Let's proceed to step 7:
854 goes into 4729 5 times with a remainder of 459.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3735.0
If we subtract 4270 from 4729, we get 459.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 459 and continue with: 4594 / 854

Step 8:
The number 854 fits into 4594 5 times, leaving a remainder of 324.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37355.0
The remainder is 324 after subtracting 4270 from 4594.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 3240 by 854, we get 3 with a remainder of 678.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37355.3
Deduct 2562 from 3240 and we're left with 678.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
854 can be fit into 6780 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 802.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37355.37
If we take 5978 away from 6780, we end up with 802.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 8020 by 854, we get 9 and a remainder of 334.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37355.379
Subtract 7686 from 8020 to get 334.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 3340 by 854, we get 3 with a remainder of 778.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37355.3793
If we take 2562 away from 3340, we end up with 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

Step 13:
7780 divided by 854 is 9 with a remainder of 94.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37355.37939
If we take 7686 away from 7780, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
854 can be fit into 940 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37355.379391
Subtract 854 from 940 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 860 by 854, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37355.3793911
If we take 854 away from 860, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37355.3793911 with a balance of 6e-08.
