844497 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 844497 can be divided by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 84 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 62 from 84.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 224 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 217 from 224 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 74 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtracting 62 from 74 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 31

Step 5:
31 can be fit into 129 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2724.0
If we subtract 124 from 129, we get 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 27241.0
Deduct 31 from 57 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 7:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27241.8
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27241.83
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.

Step 9:
31 goes into 270 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27241.838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27241.8387
If we take 217 away from 220, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27241.8387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27241.838709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up 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.

Step 13:
31 goes into 210 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27241.8387096
If we take 186 away from 210, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27241.83870967
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 27241.83870967, with a leftover of 2.3e-08.
