31464831 divided by 259 
Let's see how many times 259 fits into 31464831.

Going ahead to step 1:
259 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 259

Step 2:
259 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 259

Let's proceed to step 3:
259 can be fit into 314 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 259 away from 314, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 556 / 259

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 556 by 259, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 518 away from 556, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 259

Step 5:
The number 259 fits into 384 1 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 259 from 384, we get 125.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 125, then carry on: 1258 / 259

On to step 6:
When dividing 1258 by 259, we get 4 with a remainder of 222.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1214.0
Subtracting 1036 from 1258 leaves us with 222.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 222 and repeat the process: 2223 / 259

Step 7:
2223 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 151.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12148.0
If we take 2072 away from 2223, we end up with 151.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 151 and continue: 1511 / 259

Moving on to step 8:
259 goes into 1511 5 times with a remainder of 216.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121485.0
If we subtract 1295 from 1511, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2160 by 259, we get 8 with a remainder of 88.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121485.8
Deduct 2072 from 2160 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
259 can be fit into 880 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 103.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121485.83
Deduct 777 from 880 and we're left with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
259 can be fit into 1030 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 253.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121485.833
Subtracting 777 from 1030 leaves us with 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 121485.833, with a leftover of 0.0253.
