47946 ÷ 31 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 47946.

Advancing to step 1:
31 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 31

On to step 2:
47 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 47, we get 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
31 goes into 169 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 155 away from 169, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 31

Step 4:
When dividing 144 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 124 from 144.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 31

On to step 5:
31 goes into 206 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1546.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 186 from 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 6:
31 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1546.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 186 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 31, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1546.64
Deduct 124 from 140 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1546.645
Deduct 155 from 160 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
50 divided by 31 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1546.6451
If we take 31 away from 50, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
190 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1546.64516
If we subtract 186 from 190, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 31 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1546.645161
Deduct 31 from 40 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
31 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1546.6451612
Subtract 62 from 90 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
31 can be fit into 280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1546.64516129
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 279 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1546.64516129 with a remaining 1e-09.
