31179300 ÷ 259 
We want to divide 31179300 by 259.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 259 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 259

Let's proceed to step 2:
259 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 259

Let's proceed to step 3:
259 goes into 311 1 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 259 from 311 to get 52.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 527 / 259

Let's proceed to step 4:
259 goes into 527 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 518 from 527.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 259

Step 5:
The number 259 fits into 99 0 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtracting 0 from 99 leaves us with 99.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 99, then repeat: 993 / 259

Let's proceed to step 6:
993 divided by 259 is 3 with a remainder of 216.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1203.0
If we take 777 away from 993, we end up with 216.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 216 and continue with: 2160 / 259

Going ahead to step 7:
259 can be fit into 2160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12038.0
If we subtract 2072 from 2160, we get 88.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 880 / 259

Advancing to step 8:
The number 259 fits into 880 3 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120383.0
Subtract 777 from 880 to get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 259 fits into 1030 3 times, leaving a remainder of 253.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 120383.3
If we subtract 777 from 1030, we get 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 2530 by 259, we get 9 and a remainder of 199.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 120383.39
If we take 2331 away from 2530, we end up with 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 259 fits into 1990 7 times, leaving a remainder of 177.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120383.397
If we take 1813 away from 1990, we end up with 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1770 by 259, we get 6 with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120383.3976
Subtract 1554 from 1770 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
2160 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 88.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120383.39768
If we subtract 2072 from 2160, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 14:
880 divided by 259 is 3 with a remainder of 103.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120383.397683
The remainder is 103 after subtracting 777 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 1030 by 259, we get 3 with a remainder of 253.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120383.3976833
If we take 777 away from 1030, we end up with 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 120383.3976833 with a balance of 2.53e-06.
