We look at the division of 468040 by 31 
We want to divide 468040 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 46 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 158 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 155 from 158 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 304 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1509.0
If we take 279 away from 304, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 250 / 31

Step 6:
The number 31 fits into 250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15098.0
Subtracting 248 from 250 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15098.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15098.06
If we take 186 away from 200, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15098.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15098.0645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15098.06451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15098.064516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15098.0645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15098.06451612
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 15098.06451612 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
