We divide 31585896 by 246
Our goal is to divide 31585896 by 246.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 246 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 246

Moving on to step 2:
246 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 315 / 246

Let's proceed to step 3:
315 divided by 246 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 246 from 315 to get 69.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 698 / 246

On to step 4:
246 goes into 698 2 times with a remainder of 206.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 492 away from 698, we end up with 206.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 206 and continue with: 2065 / 246

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2065 by 246, we get 8 and a remainder of 97.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 1968 from 2065 leaves us with 97.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 97 and continue: 978 / 246

Step 6:
978 divided by 246 is 3 with a remainder of 240.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1283.0
Subtract 738 from 978 to get 240.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 240, then repeat: 2409 / 246

Step 7:
2409 divided by 246 is 9 with a remainder of 195.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12839.0
Deduct 2214 from 2409 and we're left with 195.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 195, then repeat: 1956 / 246

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 1956 by 246, we get 7 with a remainder of 234.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128397.0
If we take 1722 away from 1956, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 2340 by 246, we get 9 and a remainder of 126.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128397.9
Subtract 2214 from 2340 to get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
246 can be fit into 1260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128397.95
Subtracting 1230 from 1260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 246 is 1 with a remainder of 54.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128397.951
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 246 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
540 divided by 246 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128397.9512
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 492 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 246 fits into 480 1 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128397.95121
If we take 246 away from 480, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2340 divided by 246 is 9 with a remainder of 126.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128397.951219
Subtracting 2214 from 2340 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 15:
1260 divided by 246 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128397.9512195
Deduct 1230 from 1260 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.

Going ahead to step 16:
246 goes into 300 1 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128397.95121951
Subtract 246 from 300 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 128397.95121951 with a balance of 5.4e-08.
