577999 divided by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 577999 can be divided by 31.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 31

Step 2:
The number 31 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 57, we get 26.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 267 / 31

On to step 3:
If we divide 267 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 248 from 267, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 31

On to step 4:
31 goes into 199 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 186 from 199 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
139 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1864.0
Subtracting 124 from 139 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 159 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18645.0
Subtract 155 from 159 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18645.1
If we take 31 away from 40, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
31 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18645.12
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18645.129
If we take 279 away from 280, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 10 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18645.129
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18645.12903
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18645.129032
Subtract 62 from 70 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18645.1290322
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 18645.1290322 with a remainder of 1.8e-07.
