We divide 550447 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 550447.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 31 from 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 31

On to step 3:
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: 17.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
31 can be fit into 234 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 217 from 234 to get 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 can be fit into 174 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1775.0
Subtract 155 from 174 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 31

On to step 6:
197 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17756.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 186 from 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 goes into 110 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17756.3
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17756.35
Deduct 155 from 170 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17756.354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
31 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17756.3548
If we subtract 248 from 260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17756.35483
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17756.354838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17756.3548387
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 217 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17756.3548387
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17756.3548387 with a remaining 3e-08.
