12696583 ÷ 442 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 442 in 12696583.

Moving on to step 1:
442 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 442

Step 2:
When dividing 12 by 442, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 126 / 442

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 126 by 442, we get 0 with a remainder of 126.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 126, we get 126.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 126 and continue: 1269 / 442

Step 4:
1269 divided by 442 is 2 with a remainder of 385.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 884 from 1269 and we're left with 385.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 385 and repeat the process: 3856 / 442

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 3856 by 442, we get 8 and a remainder of 320.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 3536 from 3856 to get 320.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 320 and continue with: 3205 / 442

On to step 6:
442 goes into 3205 7 times with a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
Subtracting 3094 from 3205 leaves us with 111.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 111, then carry on: 1118 / 442

Moving on to step 7:
442 can be fit into 1118 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 234.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2872.0
The remainder is 234 after subtracting 884 from 1118.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 234, then repeat: 2343 / 442

On to step 8:
2343 divided by 442 is 5 with a remainder of 133.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28725.0
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 2210 from 2343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1330 by 442, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28725.3
Subtract 1326 from 1330 to get 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 10:
442 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28725.3
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 442, we get 0 with a remainder of 400.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28725.3
If we take 0 away from 400, we end up with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 28725.3 and a remainder of 0.04.
