We divide 498176 by 31
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 498176.

Advancing to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
31 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 31 from 49, we get 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 188 by 31, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 186 from 188 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 31

Going ahead to step 4:
31 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 217 / 31

On to step 5:
31 goes into 217 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1607.0
Subtract 217 from 217 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 31

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 31 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16070.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
31 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16070.1
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 31 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 290 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16070.19
If we take 279 away from 290, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
110 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16070.193
Subtracting 93 from 110 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16070.1935
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 155 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 31 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16070.19354
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 124 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 31 fits into 260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16070.193548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 31, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16070.1935483
Subtract 93 from 120 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 31 fits into 270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16070.19354838
Subtracting 248 from 270 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16070.19354838 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
