140918 divided by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 140918.

Step 1:
1 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
31 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
31 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 124 from 140 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 169 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 155 from 169.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 31

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 141 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 454.0
Subtracting 124 from 141 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 31

On to step 6:
When dividing 178 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4545.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 155 from 178.
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 7:
31 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4545.7
If we take 217 away from 230, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 130 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4545.74
If we subtract 124 from 130, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
60 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4545.741
If we subtract 31 from 60, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
290 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4545.7419
Subtract 279 from 290 to get 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 11:
When dividing 110 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4545.74193
Deduct 93 from 110 and we're left 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 12:
170 divided by 31 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4545.741935
Subtract 155 from 170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 13:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4545.7419354
Subtracting 124 from 150 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4545.74193548
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4545.74193548 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
