Let's divide 493997 by 78
The aim is to understand the frequency of 78 in 493997.

Step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 493 / 78

Step 3:
493 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 493, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 259 3 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 234 away from 259, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 78

On to step 5:
259 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 633.0
If we subtract 234 from 259, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 257 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6333.0
Subtracting 234 from 257 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
230 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6333.2
If we subtract 156 from 230, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6333.29
If we take 702 away from 740, we end up with 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 9:
380 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6333.294
If we take 312 away from 380, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 680 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6333.2948
If we take 624 away from 680, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6333.29487
Deduct 546 from 560 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6333.294871
Subtract 78 from 140 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6333.2948717
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6333.29487179
If we subtract 702 from 740, 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.

The final outcome is 6333.29487179, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
