487364 ÷ 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 487364.

Advancing to step 1:
31 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 31 from 48 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 177 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 155 away from 177, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 223 by 31, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
Deduct 217 from 223 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 66 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1572.0
If we take 62 away from 66, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
44 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15721.0
If we take 31 away from 44, we end up 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.

Step 7:
The number 31 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15721.4
If we take 124 away from 130, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15721.41
Subtracting 31 from 60 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 290 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15721.419
If we take 279 away from 290, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 31 fits into 110 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15721.4193
Subtract 93 from 110 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 170 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15721.41935
Subtracting 155 from 170 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15721.419354
If we subtract 124 from 150, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15721.4193548
Subtracting 248 from 260 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
31 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15721.41935483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15721.41935483 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
