31512758 divided by 971 
Our goal is to divide 31512758 by 971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 971 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.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 971

On to step 2:
The number 971 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 315 / 971

Step 3:
The number 971 fits into 315 0 times, leaving a remainder of 315.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 315 after subtracting 0 from 315.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 315 and continue with: 3151 / 971

Step 4:
971 can be fit into 3151 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 238 after subtracting 2913 from 3151.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 238, then carry on: 2382 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 2382 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 440.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 1942 away from 2382, we end up with 440.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 440, then carry on: 4407 / 971

Advancing to step 6:
971 can be fit into 4407 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 523.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 324.0
Subtract 3884 from 4407 to get 523.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 523, then repeat: 5235 / 971

On to step 7:
971 can be fit into 5235 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 380.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3245.0
The remainder is 380 after subtracting 4855 from 5235.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 380 and repeat the process: 3808 / 971

Moving on to step 8:
971 goes into 3808 3 times with a remainder of 895.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32453.0
If we take 2913 away from 3808, we end up with 895.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
8950 divided by 971 is 9 with a remainder of 211.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 32453.9
The remainder is 211 after subtracting 8739 from 8950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2110 divided by 971 is 2 with a remainder of 168.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32453.92
If we subtract 1942 from 2110, we get 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
971 can be fit into 1680 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 709.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32453.921
The remainder is 709 after subtracting 971 from 1680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7090, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
7090 divided by 971 is 7 with a remainder of 293.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32453.9217
Subtract 6797 from 7090 to get 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 971 fits into 2930 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32453.92173
If we take 2913 away from 2930, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
170 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 170.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32453.92173
Subtracting 0 from 170 leaves us with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
971 can be fit into 1700 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 729.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32453.9217301
If we subtract 971 from 1700, we get 729.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7290, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 971 fits into 7290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 493.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32453.92173017
If we subtract 6797 from 7290, we get 493.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4930, and continue the process.

Our division results in 32453.92173017 with a remaining 4.93e-07.
