We look at the division of 46493548 by 978 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 978 in 46493548.

Step 1:
The number 978 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 978

Moving on to step 2:
978 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 464 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
464 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 464.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 464 and we're left with 464.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 464, then repeat: 4649 / 978

Let's proceed to step 4:
4649 divided by 978 is 4 with a remainder of 737.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3912 from 4649 and we're left with 737.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 737, then repeat: 7373 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
The number 978 fits into 7373 7 times, leaving a remainder of 527.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 6846 from 7373, we get 527.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 527 and continue with: 5275 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
978 goes into 5275 5 times with a remainder of 385.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 475.0
Deduct 4890 from 5275 and we're left with 385.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 385, then repeat: 3854 / 978

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 3854 by 978, we get 3 with a remainder of 920.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4753.0
The remainder is 920 after subtracting 2934 from 3854.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 920 and repeat the process: 9208 / 978

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 9208 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 406.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47539.0
If we subtract 8802 from 9208, we get 406.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
978 can be fit into 4060 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47539.4
Subtract 3912 from 4060 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 1480 by 978, we get 1 and a remainder of 502.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47539.41
Subtracting 978 from 1480 leaves us with 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 5020 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 130.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47539.415
The remainder is 130 after subtracting 4890 from 5020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
978 goes into 1300 1 times with a remainder of 322.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 47539.4151
Deduct 978 from 1300 and we're left with 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
3220 divided by 978 is 3 with a remainder of 286.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47539.41513
Subtracting 2934 from 3220 leaves us with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
978 can be fit into 2860 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 904.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47539.415132
If we take 1956 away from 2860, we end up with 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 9040 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 238.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47539.4151329
If we take 8802 away from 9040, we end up with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 978 fits into 2380 2 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47539.41513292
Deduct 1956 from 2380 and we're left with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 47539.41513292 with a balance of 4.24e-07.
