Let's divide 494522 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 494522.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 49 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 34 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 23 from 34.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 115 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 215.0
Deduct 115 from 115 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 23

Step 5:
When dividing 2 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2150.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21500.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21500.9
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21500.95
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21500.956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21500.9565
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21500.95652
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21500.956521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21500.9565217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21500.95652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21500.95652173 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
