40681869 ÷ 290 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 290 in 40681869.

Step 1:
The number 290 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 290

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 290, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 290

Advancing to step 3:
290 goes into 406 1 times with a remainder of 116.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 290 from 406.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 116 and repeat the process: 1168 / 290

Step 4:
290 goes into 1168 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 1160 from 1168.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 290

Advancing to step 5:
The number 290 fits into 81 0 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 140.0
If we subtract 0 from 81, we get 81.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 81, then repeat: 818 / 290

Advancing to step 6:
290 goes into 818 2 times with a remainder of 238.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1402.0
Subtract 580 from 818 to get 238.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 238 and continue with: 2386 / 290

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2386 by 290, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14028.0
If we take 2320 away from 2386, we end up with 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 290

Step 8:
The number 290 fits into 669 2 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140282.0
Subtract 580 from 669 to get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 890 by 290, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140282.3
If we subtract 870 from 890, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
200 divided by 290 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140282.3
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 0 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2000 divided by 290 is 6 with a remainder of 260.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140282.306
Subtract 1740 from 2000 to get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
2600 divided by 290 is 8 with a remainder of 280.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140282.3068
Deduct 2320 from 2600 and we're left with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 290 fits into 2800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140282.30689
If we subtract 2610 from 2800, we get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 1900 by 290, we get 6 and a remainder of 160.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140282.306896
Deduct 1740 from 1900 and we're left with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
290 can be fit into 1600 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140282.3068965
Deduct 1450 from 1600 and we're left with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
290 goes into 1500 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140282.30689655
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 1450 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 140282.30689655 with a remaining 5e-08.
