Let's divide 40882986 by 852
The aim is to understand the frequency of 852 in 40882986.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 852, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 852

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 852, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 852

On to step 3:
408 divided by 852 is 0 with a remainder of 408.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 408 and we're left with 408.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 408, then repeat: 4088 / 852

Moving on to step 4:
852 can be fit into 4088 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 680.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3408 from 4088 and we're left with 680.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 680 and continue with: 6802 / 852

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 6802 by 852, we get 7 and a remainder of 838.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 5964 away from 6802, we end up with 838.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 838, then repeat: 8389 / 852

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 8389 by 852, we get 9 with a remainder of 721.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 479.0
Deduct 7668 from 8389 and we're left with 721.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 721, then repeat: 7218 / 852

Going ahead to step 7:
7218 divided by 852 is 8 with a remainder of 402.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4798.0
If we take 6816 away from 7218, we end up with 402.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 402, then carry on: 4026 / 852

Advancing to step 8:
852 goes into 4026 4 times with a remainder of 618.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47984.0
Subtracting 3408 from 4026 leaves us with 618.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 852 fits into 6180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47984.7
Subtract 5964 from 6180 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 2160 by 852, we get 2 and a remainder of 456.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47984.72
Deduct 1704 from 2160 and we're left with 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
4560 divided by 852 is 5 with a remainder of 300.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47984.725
If we subtract 4260 from 4560, we get 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Step 12:
852 goes into 3000 3 times with a remainder of 444.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47984.7253
Subtract 2556 from 3000 to get 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
4440 divided by 852 is 5 with a remainder of 180.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47984.72535
Subtract 4260 from 4440 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1800 divided by 852 is 2 with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47984.725352
Deduct 1704 from 1800 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 960 by 852, we get 1 and a remainder of 108.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47984.7253521
If we take 852 away from 960, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
852 can be fit into 1080 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47984.72535211
Subtract 852 from 1080 to get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 47984.72535211 with a remaining 2.28e-07.
