We're dividing 148426 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 148426 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 124 from 148.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 244 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 217 away from 244, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 272 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 478.0
Subtract 248 from 272 to get 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
31 goes into 246 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4787.0
Subtracting 217 from 246 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4787.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4787.93
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
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 9:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4787.935
If we take 155 away from 170, we end up with 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 10:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4787.9354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 goes into 260 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4787.93548
Subtract 248 from 260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4787.935483
Subtract 93 from 120 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 270 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4787.9354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4787.93548387
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 4787.93548387 with a remainder of 3e-09.
