31424 ÷ 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 31424.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 314 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 296 from 314 to get 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 182 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 148 from 182 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 344 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 424.0
Subtracting 296 from 344 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 424.6
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 424.64
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 424.648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 424.6486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 424.64864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 424.648648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 424.6486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 424.64864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 424.64864864, with a leftover of 6.4e-08.
