Let's divide 24372 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 24372.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 243 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 73.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 243 and we're left with 73.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 737 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 737 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 680 from 737 and we're left with 57.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 572 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
572 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286.0
Subtracting 510 from 572 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
620 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 286.7
Subtract 595 from 620 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286.72
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286.729
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286.7294
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286.72941
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286.729411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final result is 286.729411 with a remainder of 6.5e-06.
