We look at the division of 124698 by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 124698.

Step 1:
23 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 124 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 115 from 124 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 23

On to step 4:
If we divide 96 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 92 from 96 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 542.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 46 from 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5421.0
Subtract 23 from 38 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5421.6
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5421.65
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5421.652
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5421.6521
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
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:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5421.65217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5421.652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to 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.

Step 13:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5421.6521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5421.65217391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5421.65217391 with a remaining 7e-09.
