31721514 ÷ 655 
We're looking to find how many times 655 goes into 31721514.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 655, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 655

Moving on to step 2:
655 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 655

Going ahead to step 3:
655 can be fit into 317 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 317.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 317 leaves us with 317.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3172 / 655

Moving on to step 4:
3172 divided by 655 is 4 with a remainder of 552.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 2620 from 3172 to get 552.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 552 and continue: 5521 / 655

On to step 5:
655 goes into 5521 8 times with a remainder of 281.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 5240 from 5521 leaves us with 281.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 281, then repeat: 2815 / 655

Moving on to step 6:
655 goes into 2815 4 times with a remainder of 195.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 484.0
If we take 2620 away from 2815, we end up with 195.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 195 and repeat the process: 1951 / 655

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1951 by 655, we get 2 and a remainder of 641.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4842.0
Deduct 1310 from 1951 and we're left with 641.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 641 and repeat the process: 6414 / 655

Let's proceed to step 8:
655 goes into 6414 9 times with a remainder of 519.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48429.0
The remainder is 519 after subtracting 5895 from 6414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 5190 by 655, we get 7 and a remainder of 605.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48429.7
If we subtract 4585 from 5190, we get 605.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 6050 by 655, we get 9 with a remainder of 155.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48429.79
Subtract 5895 from 6050 to get 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1550 by 655, we get 2 and a remainder of 240.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48429.792
If we take 1310 away from 1550, we end up with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 2400 by 655, we get 3 and a remainder of 435.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48429.7923
If we subtract 1965 from 2400, we get 435.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 655 fits into 4350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 420.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48429.79236
If we subtract 3930 from 4350, we get 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 4200 by 655, we get 6 with a remainder of 270.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48429.792366
If we subtract 3930 from 4200, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 48429.792366, with a leftover of 2.7e-05.
