We look at the division of 21698876 by 444 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 444 in 21698876.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 444 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 444

Going ahead to step 2:
444 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 444

Advancing to step 3:
444 goes into 216 0 times with a remainder of 216.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 216 and we're left with 216.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 216, then repeat: 2169 / 444

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 444 fits into 2169 4 times, leaving a remainder of 393.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1776 from 2169 leaves us with 393.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 393, then repeat: 3938 / 444

Step 5:
444 goes into 3938 8 times with a remainder of 386.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 3552 from 3938 leaves us with 386.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 386 and continue with: 3868 / 444

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 3868 by 444, we get 8 and a remainder of 316.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 488.0
The remainder is 316 after subtracting 3552 from 3868.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 316 and continue: 3167 / 444

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 3167 by 444, we get 7 with a remainder of 59.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4887.0
Deduct 3108 from 3167 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 596 / 444

Going ahead to step 8:
596 divided by 444 is 1 with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48871.0
If we take 444 away from 596, we end up with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
444 can be fit into 1520 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48871.3
If we subtract 1332 from 1520, we get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1880 divided by 444 is 4 with a remainder of 104.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48871.34
Subtract 1776 from 1880 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 444 fits into 1040 2 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48871.342
Subtracting 888 from 1040 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
444 can be fit into 1520 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48871.3423
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 1332 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1880 by 444, we get 4 and a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 48871.34234
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 1776 from 1880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1040 divided by 444 is 2 with a remainder of 152.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48871.342342
Subtracting 888 from 1040 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
444 goes into 1520 3 times with a remainder of 188.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48871.3423423
If we take 1332 away from 1520, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
1880 divided by 444 is 4 with a remainder of 104.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48871.34234234
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 1776 from 1880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48871.34234234 with a balance of 1.04e-07.
