31498 divided by 34 
We want to figure out the number of times 31498 can be divided by 34.

On to step 1:
34 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
34 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 34

On to step 3:
The number 34 fits into 314 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 306 from 314.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 34

Step 4:
The number 34 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 92.0
Subtract 68 from 89 to get 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 34

Going ahead to step 5:
34 goes into 218 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 926.0
If we take 204 away from 218, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 140 by 34, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 926.4
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 926.41
If we subtract 34 from 40, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
34 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 926.411
Subtracting 34 from 60 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 926.411, with a leftover of 0.0026.
