We divide 178962 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 178962.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 85

On to step 3:
178 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 170 from 178, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 89 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 85 from 89 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 462 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 462 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2105.0
If we subtract 425 from 462, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2105.4
If we take 340 away from 370, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2105.43
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2105.435
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2105.4352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2105.43529
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2105.435294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2105.4352941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2105.43529411
Deduct 85 from 150 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.

After the division, we end up with 2105.43529411 and a remainder of 6.5e-08.
