Let's divide 17143 by 31
We're looking to find how many times 31 goes into 17143.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 31

On to step 2:
31 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 31

Step 3:
31 can be fit into 171 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 155 from 171, we get 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 164 by 31, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 155 from 164 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 31

On to step 5:
31 can be fit into 93 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
If we subtract 93 from 93, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 553.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
