We divide 461780 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 461780.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 31

Going ahead to step 2:
31 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 46 to get 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 31

Step 3:
The number 31 fits into 151 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 124 away from 151, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 31

On to step 4:
277 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we take 248 away from 277, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 31

On to step 5:
298 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1489.0
Subtract 279 from 298 to get 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 190 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14896.0
Deduct 186 from 190 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14896.1
If we subtract 31 from 40, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14896.12
If we subtract 62 from 90, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14896.129
Subtracting 279 from 280 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
10 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14896.129
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14896.12903
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14896.129032
If we take 62 away from 70, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14896.1290322
Subtract 62 from 80 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14896.1290322 and a remainder of 1.8e-07.
