We're dividing 557453 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 557453 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 55, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
31 can be fit into 247 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 217 away from 247, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 304 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 279 from 304 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 255 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1798.0
Subtracting 248 from 255 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 73 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17982.0
If we subtract 62 from 73, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
110 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17982.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17982.35
If we subtract 155 from 170, we 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 9:
150 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17982.354
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17982.3548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17982.35483
If we take 93 away from 120, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 270 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17982.354838
Deduct 248 from 270 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
31 goes into 220 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17982.3548387
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17982.3548387
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17982.3548387 with a balance of 3e-08.
