We're dividing 242492 by 31 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 242492.

On to step 1:
The number 31 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 31

On to step 3:
242 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 217 away from 242, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 31

On to step 4:
254 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 248 from 254, we get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 31

On to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 69 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 782.0
Subtract 62 from 69 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 72 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7822.0
If we take 62 away from 72, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
100 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7822.3
Subtracting 93 from 100 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7822.32
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 62 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7822.322
Deduct 62 from 80 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7822.322 with a balance of 0.0018.
