We're dividing 178992 by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 178992.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
178 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 161 from 178 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 179 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtract 161 from 179 to get 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 23

Step 5:
The number 23 fits into 189 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 778.0
If we take 184 away from 189, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 23

On to step 6:
23 can be fit into 52 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7782.0
If we subtract 46 from 52, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7782.2
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7782.26
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7782.26
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7782.2608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7782.26086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7782.260869
If we take 207 away from 220, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7782.2608695
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7782.26086956
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7782.26086956, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
