The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 156

Going ahead to step 3:
317 divided by 156 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 312 from 317 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 156

Moving on to step 4:
The number 156 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 544 / 156

Step 5:
156 can be fit into 544 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we take 468 away from 544, we end up with 76.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 766 / 156

Going ahead to step 6:
156 can be fit into 766 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2034.0
Subtract 624 from 766 to get 142.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 142 and continue with: 1420 / 156

Moving on to step 7:
1420 divided by 156 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20349.0
If we subtract 1404 from 1420, we get 16.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 161 / 156

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 161 by 156, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 203491.0
Deduct 156 from 161 and we're left with 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 9:
156 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 203491.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 156 fits into 500 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 203491.03
Subtracting 468 from 500 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 156 fits into 320 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 203491.032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
156 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 203491.032
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 156 fits into 800 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203491.03205
Subtracting 780 from 800 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 200 by 156, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 203491.032051
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 440 by 156, we get 2 and a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 203491.0320512
Subtract 312 from 440 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 16:
156 can be fit into 1280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 203491.03205128
If we subtract 1248 from 1280, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 203491.03205128 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
