984299 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 984299 can be divided by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
31 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 98 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 54 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 31 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
232 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we take 217 away from 232, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 31

On to step 5:
159 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3175.0
If we take 155 away from 159, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31751.0
If we take 31 away from 49, we end up 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.

Step 7:
31 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31751.5
If we subtract 155 from 180, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31751.58
Subtract 248 from 250 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31751.58
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31751.5806
Subtracting 186 from 200 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
140 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31751.58064
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31751.580645
Subtract 155 from 160 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31751.5806451
Deduct 31 from 50 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 190 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31751.58064516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 31751.58064516, with a leftover of 4e-09.
