We divide 31464539 by 686
We want to figure out the number of times 31464539 can be divided by 686.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 686 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 686

Step 2:
When dividing 31 by 686, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 314 / 686

Let's proceed to step 3:
686 goes into 314 0 times with a remainder of 314.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 314 leaves us with 314.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 314, then repeat: 3146 / 686

On to step 4:
3146 divided by 686 is 4 with a remainder of 402.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 2744 from 3146 to get 402.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 402 and continue: 4024 / 686

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 686 fits into 4024 5 times, leaving a remainder of 594.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 3430 from 4024 to get 594.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 594 and continue with: 5945 / 686

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 5945 by 686, we get 8 and a remainder of 457.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 458.0
The remainder is 457 after subtracting 5488 from 5945.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 457 and repeat the process: 4573 / 686

Step 7:
When dividing 4573 by 686, we get 6 with a remainder of 457.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4586.0
If we subtract 4116 from 4573, we get 457.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 457, then carry on: 4579 / 686

Moving on to step 8:
The number 686 fits into 4579 6 times, leaving a remainder of 463.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 45866.0
If we subtract 4116 from 4579, we get 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 4630 by 686, we get 6 with a remainder of 514.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45866.6
Deduct 4116 from 4630 and we're left with 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
5140 divided by 686 is 7 with a remainder of 338.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45866.67
If we subtract 4802 from 5140, we get 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 3380 by 686, we get 4 and a remainder of 636.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45866.674
If we subtract 2744 from 3380, we get 636.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 6360 by 686, we get 9 with a remainder of 186.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45866.6749
Subtract 6174 from 6360 to get 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 1860 by 686, we get 2 and a remainder of 488.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45866.67492
The remainder is 488 after subtracting 1372 from 1860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
4880 divided by 686 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45866.674927
Deduct 4802 from 4880 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 780 by 686, we get 1 with a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 45866.6749271
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 686 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
686 can be fit into 940 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 254.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 45866.67492711
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 686 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

The final result is 45866.67492711 with a remainder of 2.54e-07.
