Let's divide 31171729 by 272
The aim is to understand the frequency of 272 in 31171729.

On to step 1:
272 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 272

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 272, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 272

Moving on to step 3:
The number 272 fits into 311 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 272 from 311 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 272

Going ahead to step 4:
397 divided by 272 is 1 with a remainder of 125.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 272 from 397.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 125, then repeat: 1251 / 272

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1251 by 272, we get 4 and a remainder of 163.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we take 1088 away from 1251, we end up with 163.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 163, then repeat: 1637 / 272

Step 6:
272 can be fit into 1637 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1146.0
If we take 1632 away from 1637, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 272

Let's proceed to step 7:
272 can be fit into 52 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11460.0
Subtracting 0 from 52 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 272

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 529 by 272, we get 1 with a remainder of 257.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 114601.0
If we subtract 272 from 529, we get 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
272 goes into 2570 9 times with a remainder of 122.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114601.9
Deduct 2448 from 2570 and we're left with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 272 fits into 1220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114601.94
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 1088 from 1220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1320 by 272, we get 4 and a remainder of 232.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 114601.944
If we take 1088 away from 1320, we end up with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 114601.944, with a leftover of 0.0232.
