We divide 31720047 by 462
Our goal is to divide 31720047 by 462.

Step 1:
462 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 462

Step 2:
31 divided by 462 is 0 with 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.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 462

On to step 3:
462 goes into 317 0 times with a remainder of 317.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 317 to get 317.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 317, then repeat: 3172 / 462

Advancing to step 4:
462 goes into 3172 6 times with a remainder of 400.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 2772 from 3172 and we're left with 400.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 400, then repeat: 4000 / 462

Going ahead to step 5:
462 goes into 4000 8 times with a remainder of 304.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 3696 away from 4000, we end up with 304.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 304, then repeat: 3040 / 462

On to step 6:
The number 462 fits into 3040 6 times, leaving a remainder of 268.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 686.0
If we take 2772 away from 3040, we end up with 268.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 268, then repeat: 2684 / 462

Moving on to step 7:
The number 462 fits into 2684 5 times, leaving a remainder of 374.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6865.0
If we take 2310 away from 2684, we end up with 374.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 374, then carry on: 3747 / 462

On to step 8:
462 goes into 3747 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68658.0
If we subtract 3696 from 3747, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 462 fits into 510 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68658.1
Deduct 462 from 510 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
462 can be fit into 480 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68658.11
If we subtract 462 from 480, 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.

Our division results in 68658.11 with a remaining 0.018.
