Set Up Division: First, set up the division: 31.572÷18.
Divide 31 by 18: Start dividing 18 into 31, which goes 1 time. 1 times 18 is 18.
Subtract and Bring Down: Subtract 18 from 31 to get 13. Bring down the 5 to make it 135.
Repeat Division:18 goes into 135 about 7 times because 7 times 18 is 126.
Continue Division: Subtract 126 from 135 to get 9. Bring down the 7 to make it 97.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90. Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7. Since there are no more digits to bring down, we can add a zero and bring it down to make it 70.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90. Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7. Since there are no more digits to bring down, we can add a zero and bring it down to make it 70. 18 goes into 70 about 972 times because 972 times 18 is 975.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90. Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7. Since there are no more digits to bring down, we can add a zero and bring it down to make it 70. 18 goes into 70 about 972 times because 972 times 18 is 975. Subtract 975 from 70 to get 978. Add another zero and bring it down to make it 979.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90. Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7. Since there are no more digits to bring down, we can add a zero and bring it down to make it 70. 18 goes into 70 about 972 times because 972 times 18 is 975. Subtract 975 from 70 to get 978. Add another zero and bring it down to make it 979. 18 goes into 979 about 52 times because 52 times 18 is 55.
Final Steps:18 goes into 97 about 5 times because 5 times 18 is 90. Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7. Since there are no more digits to bring down, we can add a zero and bring it down to make it 70. 18 goes into 70 about 972 times because 972 times 18 is 975. Subtract 975 from 70 to get 978. Add another zero and bring it down to make it 979. 18 goes into 979 about 52 times because 52 times 18 is 55. Subtract 55 from 979 to get 978. Since the remainder is repeating, we can stop here.
