We divide 502973 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 502973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 502 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 502 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 502 leaves us with 77.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 779 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 can be fit into 779 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 765 from 779 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
147 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 591.0
If we subtract 85 from 147, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 623 / 85

On to step 6:
623 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5917.0
Deduct 595 from 623 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5917.3
Subtract 255 from 280 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.

On to step 8:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5917.32
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5917.329
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.

Moving on to step 10:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5917.3294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 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 11:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5917.32941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5917.329411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
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 5917.329411 with a remainder of 6.5e-06.
