Let's divide 740857 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 740857.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 69 from 74 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 48 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 322.0
If we take 46 away from 48, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 25 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3221.0
Deduct 23 from 25 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 27 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32211.0
Deduct 23 from 27 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32211.1
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32211.17
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 32211.173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32211.1739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32211.17391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32211.173913
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 32211.173913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32211.17391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 32211.17391304, with a leftover of 8e-09.
