We divide 31998504 by 957
We're looking to find how many times 957 goes into 31998504.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 957, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 957

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 957, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 319 / 957

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 957 fits into 319 0 times, leaving a remainder of 319.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 319 leaves us with 319.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 319, then repeat: 3199 / 957

Step 4:
957 goes into 3199 3 times with a remainder of 328.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2871 from 3199 leaves us with 328.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 328, then carry on: 3288 / 957

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 3288 by 957, we get 3 with a remainder of 417.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 2871 from 3288 and we're left with 417.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 417 and continue with: 4175 / 957

Let's proceed to step 6:
4175 divided by 957 is 4 with a remainder of 347.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 334.0
If we subtract 3828 from 4175, we get 347.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 347, then carry on: 3470 / 957

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 3470 by 957, we get 3 and a remainder of 599.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3343.0
Subtracting 2871 from 3470 leaves us with 599.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 599, then carry on: 5994 / 957

On to step 8:
When dividing 5994 by 957, we get 6 with a remainder of 252.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33436.0
Subtract 5742 from 5994 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2520 by 957, we get 2 and a remainder of 606.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33436.2
Subtracting 1914 from 2520 leaves us with 606.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
6060 divided by 957 is 6 with a remainder of 318.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 33436.26
Subtracting 5742 from 6060 leaves us with 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
957 can be fit into 3180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 309.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33436.263
Deduct 2871 from 3180 and we're left with 309.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
3090 divided by 957 is 3 with a remainder of 219.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33436.2633
The remainder is 219 after subtracting 2871 from 3090.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 33436.2633, with a leftover of 0.00219.
