31563287 ÷ 988 
Our goal is to divide 31563287 by 988.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 988

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 315 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
988 can be fit into 315 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 315.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 315, we end up with 315.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 315 and continue: 3156 / 988

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 988 fits into 3156 3 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2964 from 3156 leaves us with 192.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 192 and continue: 1923 / 988

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 988 fits into 1923 1 times, leaving a remainder of 935.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 988 from 1923 to get 935.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 935, then repeat: 9352 / 988

Going ahead to step 6:
988 goes into 9352 9 times with a remainder of 460.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtract 8892 from 9352 to get 460.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 460 and continue: 4608 / 988

Step 7:
988 can be fit into 4608 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 656.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3194.0
Deduct 3952 from 4608 and we're left with 656.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 656, then carry on: 6567 / 988

On to step 8:
6567 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 639.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31946.0
Subtracting 5928 from 6567 leaves us with 639.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
988 can be fit into 6390 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 462.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31946.6
Subtracting 5928 from 6390 leaves us with 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4620 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 668.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 31946.64
Deduct 3952 from 4620 and we're left with 668.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6680, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 6680 by 988, we get 6 with a remainder of 752.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31946.646
If we take 5928 away from 6680, we end up with 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 988 fits into 7520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 604.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31946.6467
If we subtract 6916 from 7520, we get 604.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
988 goes into 6040 6 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31946.64676
If we subtract 5928 from 6040, we get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 988 fits into 1120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31946.646761
If we subtract 988 from 1120, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1320 by 988, we get 1 with a remainder of 332.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31946.6467611
The remainder is 332 after subtracting 988 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 31946.6467611 with a remaining 3.32e-06.
