Let's divide 531142 by 46
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 531142.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 53 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
71 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 46 from 71, we get 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 251 5 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 230 from 251 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 46

Step 5:
214 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1154.0
Deduct 184 from 214 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 302 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 302 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11546.0
Subtracting 276 from 302 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11546.5
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11546.56
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11546.565
Subtract 230 from 240 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11546.5652
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11546.56521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11546.565217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11546.5652173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11546.56521739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11546.56521739 with a balance of 6e-09.
