We're dividing 31997785 by 957 
Our goal is to divide 31997785 by 957.

Step 1:
3 divided by 957 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 957

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 957, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 319 / 957

Step 3:
When dividing 319 by 957, we get 0 with a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 319 and we're left with 319.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 319 and continue with: 3199 / 957

Let's proceed to step 4:
3199 divided by 957 is 3 with a remainder of 328.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 328 after subtracting 2871 from 3199.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 328, then carry on: 3287 / 957

On to step 5:
If we divide 3287 by 957, we get 3 and a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 416 after subtracting 2871 from 3287.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 416 and repeat the process: 4167 / 957

Moving on to step 6:
The number 957 fits into 4167 4 times, leaving a remainder of 339.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 334.0
The remainder is 339 after subtracting 3828 from 4167.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 339 and continue: 3398 / 957

Going ahead to step 7:
3398 divided by 957 is 3 with a remainder of 527.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3343.0
Subtract 2871 from 3398 to get 527.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 527, then repeat: 5275 / 957

Let's proceed to step 8:
957 can be fit into 5275 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 490.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33435.0
If we take 4785 away from 5275, we end up with 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 4900 by 957, we get 5 and a remainder of 115.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33435.5
Subtract 4785 from 4900 to get 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
957 can be fit into 1150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 193.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33435.51
Subtracting 957 from 1150 leaves us with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1930 divided by 957 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33435.512
If we subtract 1914 from 1930, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 957 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33435.512
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
957 goes into 1600 1 times with a remainder of 643.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33435.51201
Subtract 957 from 1600 to get 643.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 6430 by 957, we get 6 and a remainder of 688.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33435.512016
Subtract 5742 from 6430 to get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
957 goes into 6880 7 times with a remainder of 181.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33435.5120167
Subtracting 6699 from 6880 leaves us with 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Step 16:
1810 divided by 957 is 1 with a remainder of 853.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33435.51201671
The remainder is 853 after subtracting 957 from 1810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 33435.51201671 with a balance of 8.53e-07.
