We divide 31896994 by 261
The aim is to understand the frequency of 261 in 31896994.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 261

On to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 261

Let's proceed to step 3:
261 can be fit into 318 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 261 from 318 leaves us with 57.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 579 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 579 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 522 from 579.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 576 / 261

Advancing to step 5:
The number 261 fits into 576 2 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 522 from 576 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 549 / 261

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 549 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1222.0
Deduct 522 from 549 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 261

Step 7:
When dividing 279 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12221.0
Subtracting 261 from 279 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 261

Going ahead to step 8:
261 goes into 184 0 times with a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 122210.0
Subtracting 0 from 184 leaves us with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
261 goes into 1840 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122210.7
If we take 1827 away from 1840, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
261 goes into 130 0 times with a remainder of 130.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122210.7
Subtract 0 from 130 to get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
1300 divided by 261 is 4 with a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122210.704
If we take 1044 away from 1300, we end up with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
2560 divided by 261 is 9 with a remainder of 211.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122210.7049
If we take 2349 away from 2560, we end up with 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
261 goes into 2110 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 122210.70498
Deduct 2088 from 2110 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 261 fits into 220 0 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 122210.70498
Subtract 0 from 220 to get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 2200 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 112.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122210.7049808
Deduct 2088 from 2200 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 16:
261 goes into 1120 4 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122210.70498084
If we take 1044 away from 1120, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 122210.70498084 with a balance of 7.6e-08.
