We divide 308988 by 89
The aim is to understand the frequency of 89 in 308988.

Moving on to step 1:
89 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
30 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 89

Advancing to step 3:
89 goes into 308 3 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 267 from 308.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 419 / 89

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 419 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 356 away from 419, we end up with 63.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 638 / 89

Step 5:
When dividing 638 by 89, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 347.0
If we subtract 623 from 638, we get 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 89

Step 6:
158 divided by 89 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3471.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 89 from 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
690 divided by 89 is 7 with a remainder of 67.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3471.7
Subtracting 623 from 690 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 670 by 89, we get 7 and a remainder of 47.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3471.77
Deduct 623 from 670 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3471.77 with a balance of 0.047.
