We look at the division of 31717265 by 899 
We're looking to find how many times 899 goes into 31717265.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 899 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 899

Advancing to step 2:
899 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 899

Let's proceed to step 3:
317 divided by 899 is 0 with a remainder of 317.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 317 to get 317.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 317 and repeat the process: 3171 / 899

Step 4:
When dividing 3171 by 899, we get 3 with a remainder of 474.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 2697 from 3171 to get 474.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 474, then repeat: 4747 / 899

Let's proceed to step 5:
899 can be fit into 4747 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 252.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 4495 from 4747 leaves us with 252.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 252, then repeat: 2522 / 899

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2522 by 899, we get 2 with a remainder of 724.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 352.0
The remainder is 724 after subtracting 1798 from 2522.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 724, then repeat: 7246 / 899

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 7246 by 899, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3528.0
Subtracting 7192 from 7246 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 545 / 899

Going ahead to step 8:
545 divided by 899 is 0 with a remainder of 545.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35280.0
If we take 0 away from 545, we end up with 545.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
899 goes into 5450 6 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 35280.6
Deduct 5394 from 5450 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 899, we get 0 with a remainder of 560.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35280.6
Subtracting 0 from 560 leaves us with 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 5600 by 899, we get 6 with a remainder of 206.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35280.606
Subtracting 5394 from 5600 leaves us with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 899 fits into 2060 2 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 35280.6062
Deduct 1798 from 2060 and we're left with 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Step 13:
899 goes into 2620 2 times with a remainder of 822.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35280.60622
If we subtract 1798 from 2620, we get 822.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 35280.60622, and the remainder is 0.000822.
