31372952 divided by 173 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 173 in 31372952.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 173, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 173

Step 2:
When dividing 31 by 173, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 313 / 173

Advancing to step 3:
313 divided by 173 is 1 with a remainder of 140.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 173 from 313.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 140, then repeat: 1407 / 173

Moving on to step 4:
The number 173 fits into 1407 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 1384 from 1407 to get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 173

Going ahead to step 5:
173 goes into 232 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtracting 173 from 232 leaves us with 59.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 599 / 173

Going ahead to step 6:
173 can be fit into 599 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 519 from 599.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 805 / 173

On to step 7:
805 divided by 173 is 4 with a remainder of 113.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18134.0
If we subtract 692 from 805, we get 113.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 113, then repeat: 1132 / 173

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1132 by 173, we get 6 and a remainder of 94.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181346.0
If we subtract 1038 from 1132, we get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
173 goes into 940 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181346.5
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 865 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 173, we get 4 with a remainder of 58.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181346.54
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 692 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 580 by 173, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 181346.543
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 519 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 12:
173 can be fit into 610 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 91.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181346.5433
Subtracting 519 from 610 leaves us with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 181346.5433 and a remainder of 0.00091.
