78188982 ÷ 257 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 257 in 78188982.

On to step 1:
257 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 257

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 78 leaves us with 78.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 781 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
781 divided by 257 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 771 from 781 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 257

On to step 4:
When dividing 108 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 108.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 108 and we're left with 108.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 108 and continue with: 1088 / 257

Moving on to step 5:
257 goes into 1088 4 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 1028 from 1088.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 609 / 257

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 257 fits into 609 2 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3042.0
If we take 514 away from 609, we end up with 95.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 95, then repeat: 958 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
257 goes into 958 3 times with a remainder of 187.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30423.0
Subtracting 771 from 958 leaves us with 187.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1872 / 257

Let's proceed to step 8:
257 can be fit into 1872 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304237.0
If we take 1799 away from 1872, we end up with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 257 fits into 730 2 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 304237.2
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 514 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 2160 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 304237.28
If we subtract 2056 from 2160, we get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
257 goes into 1040 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304237.284
If we subtract 1028 from 1040, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 257 fits into 120 0 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 304237.284
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 257 fits into 1200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304237.28404
If we take 1028 away from 1200, we end up with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
257 goes into 1720 6 times with a remainder of 178.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 304237.284046
Deduct 1542 from 1720 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 1780 by 257, we get 6 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 304237.2840466
Deduct 1542 from 1780 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 304237.2840466 with a remaining 2.38e-06.
