We divide 490786 by 38
The aim is to understand the frequency of 38 in 490786.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 49 to get 11.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 110 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 110 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 76 from 110 to get 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 can be fit into 347 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 342 from 347.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
58 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1291.0
Subtracting 38 from 58 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 206 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12915.0
If we subtract 190 from 206, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12915.4
Subtract 152 from 160 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12915.42
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12915.421
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12915.421
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12915.42105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 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 12:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12915.421052
Subtracting 76 from 100 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12915.4210526
Subtract 228 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12915.42105263
If we subtract 114 from 120, 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.

After the division, we end up with 12915.42105263 and a remainder of 6e-09.
