We divide 983499 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 983499.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 98 to get 13.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 133 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 133 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 85 from 133 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 484 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 484 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 425 from 484.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 599 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 599 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1157.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 595 from 599.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11570.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11570.5
Deduct 425 from 490 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 8:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11570.57
Subtract 595 from 650 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11570.576
Deduct 510 from 550 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11570.5764
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11570.57647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us 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 12:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11570.57647
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11570.5764705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 14:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11570.57647058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11570.57647058, with a leftover of 7e-08.
