We look at the division of 487014 by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 487014.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 31 from 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 31

On to step 3:
31 can be fit into 177 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 155 from 177, we get 22.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 220 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 220 by 31, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1571.0
Subtract 31 from 31 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
4 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15710.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 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 7:
If we divide 40 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15710.1
Subtracting 31 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 90 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15710.12
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 62 from 90.
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:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15710.129
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.

Advancing to step 10:
10 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15710.129
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15710.12903
Subtract 93 from 100 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15710.129032
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.

On to step 13:
31 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15710.1290322
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15710.1290322 with a balance of 1.8e-07.
