We're dividing 698584 by 40 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 698584.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 69 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 298 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 280 from 298 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 185 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 160 from 185 to get 25.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 40

On to step 5:
258 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1746.0
Subtract 240 from 258 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 184 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17464.0
If we subtract 160 from 184, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 240 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17464.6
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17464.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17464.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17464.6, with a leftover of 0.0.
