Let's divide 549296 by 31
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 549296.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 31

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 54, we get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 31

On to step 3:
31 can be fit into 239 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 217 from 239 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 goes into 222 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 217 from 222 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 59 by 31, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1771.0
If we take 31 away from 59, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 286 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17719.0
If we subtract 279 from 286, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17719.2
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17719.22
Subtracting 62 from 80 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 17719.22, with a leftover of 0.018.
