We divide 462491 by 31
We want to figure out the number of times 462491 can be divided by 31.

Step 1:
4 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
31 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 46 to get 15.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 152 / 31

Step 3:
152 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 124 from 152 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
284 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we subtract 279 from 284, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 31

On to step 5:
59 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1491.0
Subtracting 31 from 59 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 281 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14919.0
Subtracting 279 from 281 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14919.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
200 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14919.06
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:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14919.064
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.

On to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14919.0645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
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:
When dividing 50 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14919.06451
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 31 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14919.064516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 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:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14919.0645161
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
90 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14919.06451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 14919.06451612 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
