We divide 234545 by 40
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 234545.

Moving on to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 40

Step 2:
The number 40 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 234 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 200 from 234.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 345 / 40

On to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 345 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 320 from 345 to get 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 40

On to step 5:
When dividing 254 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 586.0
Deduct 240 from 254 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 145 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5863.0
Subtracting 120 from 145 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 can be fit into 250 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5863.6
If we take 240 away from 250, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5863.62
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
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 9:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5863.625
If we take 200 away from 200, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5863.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5863.625
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5863.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
