Let's divide 989424 by 31
Our goal is to divide 989424 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 98 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 93 from 98 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 31

Step 3:
When dividing 59 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 31 from 59 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
31 goes into 284 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 279 from 284 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 can be fit into 52 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3191.0
Subtract 31 from 52 to get 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 31

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 214 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31916.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 186 from 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 31 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31916.9
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 279 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31916.9
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31916.903
If we subtract 93 from 100, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31916.9032
If we subtract 62 from 70, we 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 11:
When dividing 80 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31916.90322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 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 outcome is 31916.90322, with a leftover of 1.8e-05.
