Let's divide 172246 by 46
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 172246.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 46

Step 2:
46 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 172 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 138 from 172 to get 34.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 342 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 342 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 322 away from 342, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 204 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 374.0
Subtracting 184 from 204 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 206 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3744.0
Deduct 184 from 206 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3744.4
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3744.47
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3744.478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3744.4782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3744.47826
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3744.47826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3744.4782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3744.47826086
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3744.47826086, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
