We look at the division of 204257 by 38 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 38 in 204257.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 204 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 190 from 204 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 142 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 114 from 142 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 38

On to step 5:
38 goes into 285 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 537.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 266 from 285.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 197 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5375.0
If we subtract 190 from 197, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5375.1
Subtracting 38 from 70 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5375.18
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
38 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5375.184
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5375.1842
If we subtract 76 from 80, we 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 11:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5375.18421
If we subtract 38 from 40, we 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.

Step 12:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5375.18421
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5375.1842105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5375.18421052
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.

The final result is 5375.18421052 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
