We're dividing 426998 by 85 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 426998.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 85

Step 3:
85 goes into 426 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 426 to get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 199 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 199 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 502.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 170 from 199.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 298 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5023.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 255 from 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5023.5
If we subtract 425 from 430, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5023.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5023.505
If we subtract 425 from 500, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5023.5058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5023.50588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5023.50588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
