We divide 550299 by 31
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 550299.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 55, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 217 from 240 to get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 232 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 217 from 232 to get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 31

On to step 5:
When dividing 159 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1775.0
Deduct 155 from 159 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 31

On to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17751.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 31 from 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17751.5
Deduct 155 from 180 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17751.58
If we subtract 248 from 250, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17751.58
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17751.5806
If we take 186 away from 200, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17751.58064
If we subtract 124 from 140, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17751.580645
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 155 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17751.5806451
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.

Moving on to step 14:
31 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17751.58064516
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.

The final result is 17751.58064516 with a remainder of 4e-09.
