Let's divide 278811 by 46
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 278811.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 46

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 goes into 278 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 276 from 278 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 46

Step 5:
If we divide 281 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 606.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 276 from 281.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 51 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6061.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6061.1
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6061.1
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 9:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6061.108
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6061.1086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6061.10869
If we subtract 414 from 440, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6061.108695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6061.1086956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6061.10869565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 6061.10869565 and a remainder of 1e-08.
