We're dividing 53683 by 31 
We want to divide 53683 by 31.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 53, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 226 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 goes into 226 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 217 from 226 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
98 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 93 from 98 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 53 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1731.0
Deduct 31 from 53 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.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1731.7
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us 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 7:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1731.7
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1731.709
Subtract 279 from 300 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 210 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1731.7096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 31 fits into 240 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1731.70967
Subtracting 217 from 240 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 230 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1731.709677
If we take 217 away from 230, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1731.709677 with a remaining 1.3e-06.
