494017 ÷ 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 494017.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 31 from 49 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 184 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 155 from 184 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 290 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 290 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 279 from 290, we get 11.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 111 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
31 goes into 111 3 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1593.0
Subtract 93 from 111 to get 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
187 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15936.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 186 from 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15936.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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 8:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15936.03
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
31 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15936.032
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
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 10:
If we divide 80 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15936.0322
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.

The quotient of the division is 15936.0322, and the remainder is 0.00018.
