We look at the division of 731186 by 46 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 731186.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 73 to get 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 can be fit into 271 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 230 from 271 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 411 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 411 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 368 from 411 to get 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 438 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1589.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 414 from 438.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 46

On to step 6:
46 can be fit into 246 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15895.0
Subtract 230 from 246 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15895.3
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15895.34
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15895.347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15895.3478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15895.34782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15895.347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15895.347826
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 14:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15895.34782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15895.34782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
