We divide 496444 by 31
The aim is to understand the frequency of 31 in 496444.

Moving on to step 1:
31 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 31, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 31 away from 49, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 31

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 186 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 186 from 186, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 31

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
The number 31 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1601.0
Deduct 31 from 44 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 31

On to step 6:
31 can be fit into 134 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16014.0
If we take 124 away from 134, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16014.3
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
31 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16014.32
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16014.322
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 quotient of the division is 16014.322, and the remainder is 0.0018.
