We're dividing 85542821 by 254 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 254 in 85542821.

Step 1:
254 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 254

Moving on to step 2:
254 can be fit into 85 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 85 leaves us with 85.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 855 / 254

On to step 3:
When dividing 855 by 254, we get 3 with a remainder of 93.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 762 away from 855, we end up with 93.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 934 / 254

Let's proceed to step 4:
254 can be fit into 934 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 762 from 934 leaves us with 172.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 172 and repeat the process: 1722 / 254

Going ahead to step 5:
1722 divided by 254 is 6 with a remainder of 198.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 336.0
Subtract 1524 from 1722 to get 198.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1988 / 254

Step 6:
1988 divided by 254 is 7 with a remainder of 210.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3367.0
If we take 1778 away from 1988, we end up with 210.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 210 and repeat the process: 2102 / 254

Advancing to step 7:
2102 divided by 254 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33678.0
Subtract 2032 from 2102 to get 70.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 701 / 254

On to step 8:
The number 254 fits into 701 2 times, leaving a remainder of 193.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 336782.0
If we take 508 away from 701, we end up with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
254 goes into 1930 7 times with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 336782.7
Subtracting 1778 from 1930 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
254 goes into 1520 5 times with a remainder of 250.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 336782.75
If we take 1270 away from 1520, we end up with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 2500 by 254, we get 9 and a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 336782.759
Deduct 2286 from 2500 and we're left with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 254 fits into 2140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 336782.7598
If we take 2032 away from 2140, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 1080 by 254, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 336782.75984
If we subtract 1016 from 1080, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 254 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 336782.759842
If we subtract 508 from 640, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1320 divided by 254 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 336782.7598425
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 1270 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
254 goes into 500 1 times with a remainder of 246.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 336782.75984251
If we take 254 away from 500, we end up with 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 336782.75984251 and a remainder of 2.46e-07.
