442821 ÷ 31 
We want to divide 442821 by 31.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 31

Step 2:
31 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 31 from 44 to get 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 132 by 31, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 124 from 132 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we take 62 away from 88, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 31

Step 5:
When dividing 262 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1428.0
Deduct 248 from 262 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 31

On to step 6:
31 goes into 141 4 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14284.0
Subtracting 124 from 141 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14284.5
If we take 155 away from 170, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14284.54
If we take 124 away from 150, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14284.548
If we take 248 away from 260, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14284.5483
Deduct 93 from 120 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14284.54838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14284.548387
Subtracting 217 from 220 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14284.548387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 300 by 31, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14284.54838709
If we subtract 279 from 300, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14284.54838709 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
