Let's divide 31973 by 89
Our goal is to divide 31973 by 89.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 89

Going ahead to step 2:
31 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 89

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 89 fits into 319 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 267 from 319 leaves us with 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 89

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 527 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 82.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 445 from 527 leaves us with 82.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 823 / 89

Step 5:
When dividing 823 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.0
Subtracting 801 from 823 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
89 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.2
If we subtract 178 from 220, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.24
If we take 356 away from 420, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 640 by 89, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 359.247
Subtract 623 from 640 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
170 divided by 89 is 1 with a remainder of 81.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 359.2471
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 89 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 89 fits into 810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359.24719
Deduct 801 from 810 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.

Step 11:
90 divided by 89 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.247191
If we take 89 away from 90, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 10 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.247191
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
100 divided by 89 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359.24719101
Subtracting 89 from 100 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

The final result is 359.24719101 with a remainder of 1.1e-08.
