Let's divide 78971482 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 78971482.

Moving on to step 1:
23 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
78 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 69 from 78.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
99 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 92 from 99 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
77 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 343.0
Subtract 69 from 77 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
81 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3433.0
If we subtract 69 from 81, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 124 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34335.0
Subtracting 115 from 124 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 23

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 98 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 343354.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 23

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 62 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3433542.0
Subtract 46 from 62 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3433542.6
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3433542.69
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 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 11:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3433542.695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
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: 3433542.6956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3433542.69565
If we subtract 115 from 120, 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.

On to step 14:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3433542.695652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3433542.6956521
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.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3433542.69565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 3433542.69565217 with a remaining 9e-09.
