We're dividing 983257 by 85 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 983257.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 98, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 133 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 133 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 85 from 133 to get 48.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 482 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 482 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtract 425 from 482 to get 57.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 575 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 575 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 65.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1156.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 510 from 575.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 657 / 85

Step 6:
If we divide 657 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11567.0
If we take 595 away from 657, we end up 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.

Step 7:
The number 85 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11567.7
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 595 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11567.72
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11567.729
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11567.7294
Deduct 340 from 350 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11567.72941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11567.729411
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11567.729411 with a remaining 6.5e-06.
