547462 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 547462 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 54 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 31

On to step 3:
31 goes into 237 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 217 from 237.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 204 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 186 from 204 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
186 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1766.0
Subtract 186 from 186 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17660.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 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 7:
When dividing 20 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17660.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17660.06
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.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17660.064
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 124 from 140.
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 10:
31 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17660.0645
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 11:
31 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17660.06451
Subtracting 31 from 50 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 190 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17660.064516
Subtracting 186 from 190 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
31 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17660.0645161
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17660.06451612
Deduct 62 from 90 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17660.06451612 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
