We divide 31509708 by 985
Let's see how many times 985 fits into 31509708.

On to step 1:
The number 985 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
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 985

On to step 2:
985 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 315 / 985

Moving on to step 3:
The number 985 fits into 315 0 times, leaving a remainder of 315.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 315 and we're left with 315.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 315, then repeat: 3150 / 985

On to step 4:
3150 divided by 985 is 3 with a remainder of 195.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2955 from 3150 and we're left with 195.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 195 and continue with: 1959 / 985

Step 5:
1959 divided by 985 is 1 with a remainder of 974.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 985 from 1959 leaves us with 974.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 974, then carry on: 9747 / 985

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 9747 by 985, we get 9 with a remainder of 882.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 8865 from 9747, we get 882.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 882 and continue with: 8820 / 985

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 8820 by 985, we get 8 with a remainder of 940.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3198.0
Subtracting 7880 from 8820 leaves us with 940.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 940, then carry on: 9408 / 985

Advancing to step 8:
9408 divided by 985 is 9 with a remainder of 543.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31989.0
If we subtract 8865 from 9408, we get 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5430 divided by 985 is 5 with a remainder of 505.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31989.5
Subtracting 4925 from 5430 leaves us with 505.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5050, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
985 can be fit into 5050 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31989.55
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 4925 from 5050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31989.55 with a balance of 0.125.
