We're dividing 541439 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 541439.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 54 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 31

Step 3:
231 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 217 from 231 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 144 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 124 from 144 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 203 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 203 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1746.0
If we take 186 away from 203, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
179 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17465.0
Subtract 155 from 179 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17465.7
If we subtract 217 from 240, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17465.77
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17465.77, and the remainder is 0.013.
