We're dividing 31179874 by 979 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 979 in 31179874.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 979, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 979

Advancing to step 2:
979 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 979

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 311 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 311.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 311 leaves us with 311.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 311, then repeat: 3117 / 979

On to step 4:
3117 divided by 979 is 3 with a remainder of 180.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2937 from 3117 leaves us with 180.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1809 / 979

Going ahead to step 5:
979 can be fit into 1809 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 830.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 979 from 1809 and we're left with 830.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 830, then repeat: 8308 / 979

On to step 6:
If we divide 8308 by 979, we get 8 and a remainder of 476.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 318.0
Subtracting 7832 from 8308 leaves us with 476.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 476, then repeat: 4767 / 979

Step 7:
The number 979 fits into 4767 4 times, leaving a remainder of 851.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3184.0
Deduct 3916 from 4767 and we're left with 851.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 851, then carry on: 8514 / 979

Let's proceed to step 8:
979 can be fit into 8514 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 682.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31848.0
If we take 7832 away from 8514, we end up with 682.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 979 fits into 6820 6 times, leaving a remainder of 946.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31848.6
Subtracting 5874 from 6820 leaves us with 946.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 9460 by 979, we get 9 with a remainder of 649.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31848.69
The remainder is 649 after subtracting 8811 from 9460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 979 fits into 6490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 616.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31848.696
Subtracting 5874 from 6490 leaves us with 616.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
6160 divided by 979 is 6 with a remainder of 286.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31848.6966
Subtracting 5874 from 6160 leaves us with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31848.6966 with a balance of 0.00286.
