Let's divide 489464 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 489464.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 48, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
29 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 23 from 29 to get 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 64 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 46 from 64 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 186 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2128.0
Subtracting 184 from 186 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 goes into 24 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21281.0
Subtract 23 from 24 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21281.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21281.04
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21281.043
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21281.0434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21281.04347
Subtract 161 from 180 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21281.043478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21281.0434782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21281.04347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21281.04347826 and a remainder of 2e-09.
