We're dividing 23173176 by 431 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 431 in 23173176.

On to step 1:
The number 431 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 431

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 431, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 431

Moving on to step 3:
231 divided by 431 is 0 with a remainder of 231.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 231 to get 231.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 231, then repeat: 2317 / 431

Going ahead to step 4:
2317 divided by 431 is 5 with a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 2155 from 2317 leaves us with 162.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 162, then carry on: 1623 / 431

Moving on to step 5:
431 goes into 1623 3 times with a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
The remainder is 330 after subtracting 1293 from 1623.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 330, then repeat: 3301 / 431

Advancing to step 6:
431 goes into 3301 7 times with a remainder of 284.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 537.0
If we take 3017 away from 3301, we end up with 284.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 284 and repeat the process: 2847 / 431

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 2847 by 431, we get 6 with a remainder of 261.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5376.0
Subtracting 2586 from 2847 leaves us with 261.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 261, then repeat: 2616 / 431

Advancing to step 8:
431 goes into 2616 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53766.0
Subtract 2586 from 2616 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
300 divided by 431 is 0 with a remainder of 300.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53766.0
If we subtract 0 from 300, we get 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 3000 by 431, we get 6 with a remainder of 414.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53766.06
If we subtract 2586 from 3000, we get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
4140 divided by 431 is 9 with a remainder of 261.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53766.069
If we subtract 3879 from 4140, we get 261.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
2610 divided by 431 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53766.0696
Subtracting 2586 from 2610 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 431, we get 0 with a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53766.0696
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 0 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 431 fits into 2400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 245.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53766.069605
Subtract 2155 from 2400 to get 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
2450 divided by 431 is 5 with a remainder of 295.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 53766.0696055
The remainder is 295 after subtracting 2155 from 2450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

The final result is 53766.0696055 with a remainder of 2.95e-06.
