31462255 ÷ 429 
We want to figure out the number of times 31462255 can be divided by 429.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 429 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 429

Step 2:
429 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 429

Going ahead to step 3:
429 goes into 314 0 times with a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 314 and we're left with 314.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 314, then carry on: 3146 / 429

Moving on to step 4:
The number 429 fits into 3146 7 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 3003 from 3146 leaves us with 143.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 143 and repeat the process: 1432 / 429

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1432 by 429, we get 3 with a remainder of 145.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 1287 from 1432, we get 145.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 145, then repeat: 1452 / 429

Going ahead to step 6:
1452 divided by 429 is 3 with a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 733.0
If we subtract 1287 from 1452, we get 165.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 165, then repeat: 1655 / 429

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 429 fits into 1655 3 times, leaving a remainder of 368.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7333.0
The remainder is 368 after subtracting 1287 from 1655.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 368, then repeat: 3685 / 429

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 3685 by 429, we get 8 and a remainder of 253.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 73338.0
The remainder is 253 after subtracting 3432 from 3685.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 2530 by 429, we get 5 and a remainder of 385.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 73338.5
Deduct 2145 from 2530 and we're left with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
429 can be fit into 3850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 418.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73338.58
If we take 3432 away from 3850, we end up with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
4180 divided by 429 is 9 with a remainder of 319.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73338.589
If we subtract 3861 from 4180, we get 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
429 goes into 3190 7 times with a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73338.5897
Subtract 3003 from 3190 to get 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 1870 by 429, we get 4 and a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73338.58974
Subtracting 1716 from 1870 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
429 goes into 1540 3 times with a remainder of 253.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73338.589743
If we subtract 1287 from 1540, we get 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
429 can be fit into 2530 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 385.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73338.5897435
If we take 2145 away from 2530, we end up with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 429 fits into 3850 8 times, leaving a remainder of 418.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73338.58974358
If we take 3432 away from 3850, we end up with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 73338.58974358 with a balance of 4.18e-07.
