487248 divided by 31 
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 487248.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 31

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 48, we get 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 31

Step 3:
31 can be fit into 177 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 155 from 177 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 222 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 217 from 222.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
54 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1571.0
If we subtract 31 from 54, we get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 31

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 238 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15717.0
Deduct 217 from 238 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15717.6
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 240 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15717.67
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
31 can be fit into 230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15717.677
Subtracting 217 from 230 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 15717.677, and the remainder is 0.0013.
