524343 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 524343.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 31

Step 2:
The number 31 fits into 52 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 31 from 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 214 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 186 from 214.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 283 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 283 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 279 from 283.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1691.0
Deduct 31 from 44 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 133 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 133 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16914.0
If we take 124 away from 133, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
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: 16914.2
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16914.29
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16914.29
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16914.2903
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16914.29032
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16914.290322
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left 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.

The final result is 16914.290322 with a remainder of 1.8e-06.
