42917999 divided by 983 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 983 in 42917999.

Step 1:
983 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 983

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 983 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 429 / 983

Advancing to step 3:
429 divided by 983 is 0 with a remainder of 429.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 429 after subtracting 0 from 429.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 429 and continue with: 4291 / 983

Advancing to step 4:
4291 divided by 983 is 4 with a remainder of 359.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3932 from 4291, we get 359.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 359, then repeat: 3597 / 983

On to step 5:
If we divide 3597 by 983, we get 3 and a remainder of 648.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 2949 from 3597, we get 648.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 648 and continue: 6489 / 983

On to step 6:
983 goes into 6489 6 times with a remainder of 591.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 436.0
If we subtract 5898 from 6489, we get 591.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 591 and continue with: 5919 / 983

On to step 7:
If we divide 5919 by 983, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4366.0
Subtracting 5898 from 5919 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 983

Moving on to step 8:
983 can be fit into 219 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43660.0
Subtracting 0 from 219 leaves us with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2190 divided by 983 is 2 with a remainder of 224.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43660.2
The remainder is 224 after subtracting 1966 from 2190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
983 goes into 2240 2 times with a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 43660.22
Subtracting 1966 from 2240 leaves us with 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

The final result is 43660.22 with a remainder of 0.274.
