Let's divide 383586 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 383586.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 38 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 38 to get 15.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 23

On to step 3:
23 can be fit into 153 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 138 away from 153, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 155 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 can be fit into 155 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 138 from 155.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 178 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1667.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 176 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 176 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16677.0
Subtracting 161 from 176 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16677.6
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16677.65
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16677.652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16677.6521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16677.65217
If we subtract 161 from 170, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16677.652173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16677.6521739
Subtracting 207 from 210 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16677.65217391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16677.65217391 with a balance of 7e-09.
