177388 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 177388.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 31

On to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 177 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 155 away from 177, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 223 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 223 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 217 away from 223, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 68 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 62 from 68.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 31

Step 6:
If we divide 68 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5722.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 62 from 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5722.1
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5722.19
If we subtract 279 from 290, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
110 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5722.193
If we take 93 away from 110, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5722.1935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5722.19354
Deduct 124 from 150 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5722.193548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5722.1935483
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 93 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5722.19354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 5722.19354838 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
