We look at the division of 579474 by 46 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 579474.

Advancing to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 57 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 57 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 119 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 92 from 119 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 274 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
274 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 230 from 274 to get 44.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 447 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 447 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1259.0
Subtract 414 from 447 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 334 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 334 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12597.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 322 from 334.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12597.2
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12597.26
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12597.26
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
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: 12597.2608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12597.26086
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12597.260869
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12597.2608695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12597.26086956
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12597.26086956 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
