We look at the division of 272543 by 31 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 272543.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
27 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 31

Step 3:
31 goes into 272 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 248 from 272.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 31

Step 4:
31 can be fit into 245 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 217 from 245.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 284 by 31, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 879.0
If we subtract 279 from 284, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 31

Step 6:
31 goes into 53 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8791.0
Subtracting 31 from 53 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
31 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8791.7
Deduct 217 from 220 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 31 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8791.7
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 31 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8791.709
Subtracting 279 from 300 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 31, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8791.7096
If we subtract 186 from 210, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
31 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8791.70967
Deduct 217 from 240 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 12:
230 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8791.709677
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 217 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8791.709677 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
