We divide 40280849 by 254
The aim is to understand the frequency of 254 in 40280849.

Advancing to step 1:
254 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 254

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 254, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 254

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 402 by 254, we get 1 and a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 254 away from 402, we end up with 148.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 148, then repeat: 1488 / 254

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1488 by 254, we get 5 and a remainder of 218.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 218 after subtracting 1270 from 1488.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 218, then repeat: 2180 / 254

Step 5:
When dividing 2180 by 254, we get 8 with a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Deduct 2032 from 2180 and we're left with 148.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 148, then repeat: 1488 / 254

Let's proceed to step 6:
254 goes into 1488 5 times with a remainder of 218.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1585.0
Deduct 1270 from 1488 and we're left with 218.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 218 and repeat the process: 2184 / 254

Advancing to step 7:
2184 divided by 254 is 8 with a remainder of 152.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15858.0
Subtracting 2032 from 2184 leaves us with 152.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 152, then repeat: 1529 / 254

On to step 8:
254 goes into 1529 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158586.0
Subtract 1524 from 1529 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 158586.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 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 10:
When dividing 500 by 254, we get 1 with a remainder of 246.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158586.01
Deduct 254 from 500 and we're left with 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 254 fits into 2460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158586.019
If we subtract 2286 from 2460, we get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
254 goes into 1740 6 times with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158586.0196
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 1524 from 1740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
2160 divided by 254 is 8 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158586.01968
Subtracting 2032 from 2160 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
1280 divided by 254 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158586.019685
Subtract 1270 from 1280 to 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.

Going ahead to step 15:
100 divided by 254 is 0 with a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 158586.019685
If we take 0 away from 100, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 1000 by 254, we get 3 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158586.01968503
Deduct 762 from 1000 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.

The quotient of the division is 158586.01968503, and the remainder is 2.38e-07.
