We look at the division of 2142679 by 589 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 589 in 2142679.

On to step 1:
589 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 589

Let's proceed to step 2:
589 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 589

On to step 3:
589 can be fit into 214 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 214.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 214 after subtracting 0 from 214.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 214 and repeat the process: 2142 / 589

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2142 by 589, we get 3 with a remainder of 375.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 1767 from 2142 leaves us with 375.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 375 and repeat the process: 3756 / 589

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 589 fits into 3756 6 times, leaving a remainder of 222.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 3534 from 3756 leaves us with 222.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 222 and repeat the process: 2227 / 589

Moving on to step 6:
2227 divided by 589 is 3 with a remainder of 460.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 363.0
The remainder is 460 after subtracting 1767 from 2227.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 460, then repeat: 4609 / 589

On to step 7:
589 goes into 4609 7 times with a remainder of 486.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3637.0
The remainder is 486 after subtracting 4123 from 4609.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 4860 by 589, we get 8 with a remainder of 148.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3637.8
Subtracting 4712 from 4860 leaves us with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
589 can be fit into 1480 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 302.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3637.82
Subtract 1178 from 1480 to get 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Step 10:
589 goes into 3020 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3637.825
Subtract 2945 from 3020 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 589 fits into 750 1 times, leaving a remainder of 161.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3637.8251
Deduct 589 from 750 and we're left with 161.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
589 can be fit into 1610 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 432.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3637.82512
Subtract 1178 from 1610 to get 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 589 fits into 4320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3637.825127
Subtracting 4123 from 4320 leaves us with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1970 by 589, we get 3 with a remainder of 203.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3637.8251273
Deduct 1767 from 1970 and we're left with 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2030, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
589 can be fit into 2030 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 263.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3637.82512733
Subtracting 1767 from 2030 leaves us with 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3637.82512733, and the remainder is 2.63e-07.
