Let's divide 531735 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 531735.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 53 to get 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 221 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 217 from 221 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we subtract 31 from 47, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 163 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 163 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1715.0
If we subtract 155 from 163, we get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 31

On to step 6:
85 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17152.0
Subtract 62 from 85 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17152.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
130 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17152.74
If we take 124 away from 130, 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.

Step 9:
The number 31 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17152.741
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
290 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17152.7419
If we subtract 279 from 290, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17152.74193
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 93 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17152.741935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17152.7419354
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17152.74193548
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17152.74193548, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
