We divide 31538857 by 232
We want to divide 31538857 by 232.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 232 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 232

Let's proceed to step 2:
232 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 315 / 232

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 315 by 232, we get 1 with a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 232 from 315, we get 83.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 833 / 232

Going ahead to step 4:
232 goes into 833 3 times with a remainder of 137.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 696 from 833 leaves us with 137.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 137, then carry on: 1378 / 232

On to step 5:
The number 232 fits into 1378 5 times, leaving a remainder of 218.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtract 1160 from 1378 to get 218.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 218 and continue: 2188 / 232

On to step 6:
If we divide 2188 by 232, we get 9 and a remainder of 100.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1359.0
If we subtract 2088 from 2188, we get 100.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 100 and repeat the process: 1005 / 232

Advancing to step 7:
232 goes into 1005 4 times with a remainder of 77.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13594.0
If we take 928 away from 1005, we end up with 77.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 777 / 232

On to step 8:
777 divided by 232 is 3 with a remainder of 81.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135943.0
If we subtract 696 from 777, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 810 by 232, we get 3 with a remainder of 114.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135943.3
Subtracting 696 from 810 leaves us with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 1140 by 232, we get 4 with a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135943.34
Deduct 928 from 1140 and we're left with 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2120 divided by 232 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135943.349
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 2088 from 2120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
320 divided by 232 is 1 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 135943.3491
Subtracting 232 from 320 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 232 fits into 880 3 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135943.34913
If we take 696 away from 880, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 1840 by 232, we get 7 with a remainder of 216.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135943.349137
If we take 1624 away from 1840, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 2160 by 232, we get 9 and a remainder of 72.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135943.3491379
If we subtract 2088 from 2160, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
232 can be fit into 720 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135943.34913793
If we subtract 696 from 720, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 135943.34913793 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
