Let's divide 31704529 by 538
We're looking to find how many times 538 goes into 31704529.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 538 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 538

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 divided by 538 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 538

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 317 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 317.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 317 to get 317.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 317, then repeat: 3170 / 538

Going ahead to step 4:
538 can be fit into 3170 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 480.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2690 away from 3170, we end up with 480.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 480, then repeat: 4804 / 538

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4804 by 538, we get 8 and a remainder of 500.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 4304 from 4804 leaves us with 500.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 500 and continue: 5005 / 538

On to step 6:
538 goes into 5005 9 times with a remainder of 163.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 589.0
If we subtract 4842 from 5005, we get 163.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 163, then carry on: 1632 / 538

Let's proceed to step 7:
538 can be fit into 1632 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5893.0
Subtract 1614 from 1632 to get 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 538

On to step 8:
538 can be fit into 189 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 189.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58930.0
If we take 0 away from 189, we end up with 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 538 fits into 1890 3 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58930.3
The remainder is 276 after subtracting 1614 from 1890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 538 fits into 2760 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58930.35
Deduct 2690 from 2760 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
538 goes into 700 1 times with a remainder of 162.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58930.351
The remainder is 162 after subtracting 538 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 538 fits into 1620 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58930.3513
Subtract 1614 from 1620 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58930.3513
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
538 can be fit into 600 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58930.351301
Deduct 538 from 600 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
620 divided by 538 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58930.3513011
If we subtract 538 from 620, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

The final result is 58930.3513011 with a remainder of 8.2e-07.
