We're dividing 961486 by 31 
We want to divide 961486 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 96 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 96 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 31

Step 3:
31 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 31 from 31 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 31

On to step 4:
31 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 310.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3101.0
If we take 31 away from 48, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 31

Step 6:
176 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31015.0
Subtracting 155 from 176 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31015.6
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 186 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31015.67
If we take 217 away from 240, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 9:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 31015.677
Subtract 217 from 230 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31015.677 with a balance of 0.0013.
