998697 divided by 85 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 998697.

Step 1:
9 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 99 to get 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
85 can be fit into 148 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 85 from 148, we get 63.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 636 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
636 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 595 from 636 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 419 4 times with a remainder of 79.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Subtracting 340 from 419 leaves us with 79.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 797 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 797 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.0
If we take 765 away from 797, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
320 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.3
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 255 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.37
Subtracting 595 from 650 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 550 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11749.376
Deduct 510 from 550 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.3764
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11749.37647
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11749.37647
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11749.3764705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11749.37647058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11749.37647058 and a remainder of 7e-08.
