We divide 196972 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 196972.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 85

Step 3:
If we divide 196 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 196 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
269 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 255 from 269.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 147 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 231.0
If we subtract 85 from 147, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 622 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 622 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2317.0
Deduct 595 from 622 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 270 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2317.3
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 255 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2317.31
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2317.317
If we subtract 595 from 650, we 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.

Step 10:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2317.3176
Subtracting 510 from 550 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2317.31764
If we take 340 away from 400, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2317.317647
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2317.317647
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2317.31764705
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.

The final result is 2317.31764705 with a remainder of 7.5e-08.
