We're dividing 141758 by 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 141758 can be divided by 31.

On to step 1:
31 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 31

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 141 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 124 from 141.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 31

Step 4:
31 goes into 177 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 155 from 177 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 31

Step 5:
31 goes into 225 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 457.0
Subtracting 217 from 225 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4572.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 62 from 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 31, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4572.8
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 248 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
31 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4572.83
If we subtract 93 from 120, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
270 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4572.838
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 248 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4572.8387
Subtract 217 from 220 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
30 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4572.8387
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 300 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4572.838709
Deduct 279 from 300 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 31 fits into 210 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4572.8387096
Subtract 186 from 210 to 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.

Step 14:
240 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4572.83870967
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 217 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4572.83870967 with a balance of 2.3e-08.
