Let's divide 978988 by 60
The aim is to understand the frequency of 60 in 978988.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 60, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 60

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 60, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 60 from 97.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 60

On to step 3:
The number 60 fits into 378 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 360 away from 378, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 60

Step 4:
60 goes into 189 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtracting 180 from 189 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 60

Moving on to step 5:
60 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1631.0
If we take 60 away from 98, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 60

Let's proceed to step 6:
60 can be fit into 388 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16316.0
Deduct 360 from 388 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
60 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16316.4
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
400 divided by 60 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16316.46
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 60 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16316.466
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16316.466, and the remainder is 0.004.
