495043 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 495043.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 31 from 49.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 185 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 155 from 185.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 300 / 31

On to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 279 from 300.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 214 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1596.0
If we subtract 186 from 214, we get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 31

Step 6:
When dividing 283 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15969.0
Subtracting 279 from 283 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.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15969.1
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 8:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15969.12
Subtract 62 from 90 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15969.129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15969.129
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15969.12903
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15969.129032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15969.1290322
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15969.1290322, with a leftover of 1.8e-07.
