We divide 176497 by 31
We want to divide 176497 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in 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

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 176 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
176 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 155 away from 176, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 31

Step 4:
31 can be fit into 214 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 186 from 214.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 289 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 569.0
Deduct 279 from 289 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
107 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5693.0
Deduct 93 from 107 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5693.4
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5693.45
If we take 155 away from 160, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5693.451
If we subtract 31 from 50, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5693.4516
Subtract 186 from 190 to get 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 11:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5693.45161
Subtract 31 from 40 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5693.451612
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
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: 5693.4516129
If we subtract 279 from 280, we get 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 14:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5693.4516129
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.

The quotient of the division is 5693.4516129, and the remainder is 1e-08.
