442873 ÷ 31 
Our goal is to divide 442873 by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 31

On to step 2:
When dividing 44 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 44, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 can be fit into 132 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 124 from 132 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 88 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 62 from 88 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 267 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1428.0
Deduct 248 from 267 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 193 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 193 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14286.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 186 from 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14286.2
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14286.22
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14286.22, and the remainder is 0.018.
