459178 divided by 31 
Our goal is to divide 459178 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 45 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 31 from 45 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 goes into 149 4 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 124 from 149 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 251 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtract 248 from 251 to get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 31

On to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1481.0
If we take 31 away from 37, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
68 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14812.0
If we subtract 62 from 68, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 60 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14812.1
Subtract 31 from 60 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
31 can be fit into 290 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14812.19
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14812.193
If we take 93 away from 110, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14812.1935
If we subtract 155 from 170, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14812.19354
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 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 12:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14812.193548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left 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 13:
120 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14812.1935483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14812.19354838
If we take 248 away from 270, we end up 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.

The final result is 14812.19354838 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
