We look at the division of 31383417 by 279 
Our goal is to divide 31383417 by 279.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 279

Moving on to step 2:
The number 279 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 313 / 279

On to step 3:
If we divide 313 by 279, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 279 from 313.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 348 / 279

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 348 by 279, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 279 from 348, we get 69.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 693 / 279

Moving on to step 5:
279 goes into 693 2 times with a remainder of 135.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 135 after subtracting 558 from 693.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 135, then carry on: 1354 / 279

Going ahead to step 6:
1354 divided by 279 is 4 with a remainder of 238.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1124.0
Deduct 1116 from 1354 and we're left with 238.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 238, then carry on: 2381 / 279

On to step 7:
When dividing 2381 by 279, we get 8 with a remainder of 149.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11248.0
Deduct 2232 from 2381 and we're left with 149.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 149, then repeat: 1497 / 279

On to step 8:
If we divide 1497 by 279, we get 5 and a remainder of 102.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112485.0
Subtracting 1395 from 1497 leaves us with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
279 goes into 1020 3 times with a remainder of 183.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 112485.3
Subtract 837 from 1020 to get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1830 by 279, we get 6 and a remainder of 156.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 112485.36
Subtracting 1674 from 1830 leaves us with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1560 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 165.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112485.365
Subtracting 1395 from 1560 leaves us with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1650 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 255.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112485.3655
The remainder is 255 after subtracting 1395 from 1650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 112485.3655 with a remaining 0.00255.
