We divide 171229 by 26
The aim is to understand the frequency of 26 in 171229.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 26

On to step 2:
The number 26 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 26

Let's proceed to step 3:
26 can be fit into 171 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 156 away from 171, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 26

On to step 4:
26 goes into 152 5 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 130 from 152 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 26

Step 5:
26 can be fit into 222 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 658.0
Subtract 208 from 222 to get 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 26

Advancing to step 6:
The number 26 fits into 149 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6585.0
Subtract 130 from 149 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 26, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6585.7
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 182 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6585.73
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6585.73
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
26 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6585.7307
Deduct 182 from 200 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 26, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6585.73076
If we subtract 156 from 180, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
240 divided by 26 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6585.730769
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
60 divided by 26 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6585.7307692
If we take 52 away from 60, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 26 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6585.73076923
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6585.73076923 and a remainder of 2e-09.
