We're dividing 978950 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 978950 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 97 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 93 away from 97, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 31

On to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 31 away from 48, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 31

On to step 4:
179 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 315.0
If we take 155 away from 179, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
245 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3157.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 217 from 245.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31579.0
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31579.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31579.03
Subtract 93 from 100 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31579.032
If we subtract 62 from 70, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
31 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31579.0322
Subtracting 62 from 80 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.

Our division results in 31579.0322 with a remaining 0.00018.
